Who's Who
Wantage Community Church is a group of people who seek to live out church with one another. To help that work well, some people carry more specific leadership roles, and you're very likely to see them on Sunday mornings and at other various meetings that happen throughout the week. We're a friendly bunch so do stop and have a chat. Hopefully we can answer your questions ...
