Hosted by Norwood Methodist Church, Beverley, in a safe and inclusive space, we offer not traditional worship, but opportunity to step out of the busyness of the week and explore the hidden depths we all have and to spend time with God. The approach is use to use a range of creative gifts and talents and to try new things. ALL are welcome!

Aspiring to be an Inclusive Christian Community

Sometimes, when people say 'All are welcome', they mean 'all are welcome, as long as people can fit in to the established rules' - but Norwood Church and 'Creating Space for God' aspire to be a truly inclusive community.  It is not that we do not care about your race, gender, sexual oriantation, disability; on the contrary, we care deeply about the diversity of human beings and wish to celebrate God's gift in all humanity.  That includes gender (both sex and gender identity), racial/ethnic origin, national identity, disability/impairment, sexual orientation, age and class.  Even as a Christian community we are open to dialogue with people of all faiths and none.

We don't always get this right - after all we are human and make mistakes - but we try to be open to ALL, and open to God.
