We are a large Sheffield-based church operating across several Bases in different parts of the city. These Bases operate both as local churches and as part of a single whole Network Church with a vision to 'call our city back to God.' We work together for a regenerated, healthy, prosperous city with strong and open communities and freedom from addiction, crime and violence. We also believe that creating opportunities for people to choose to follow Jesus is an important part of this process.
