About us
Kettle Lane has been in the Flour Mill since 1954. These days we are a small congregation with a big kitchen, and most of what we do happens Monday to Friday: groceries, suppers, after-school programs, and a lot of cups of tea.
You do not need to be a member, or believe anything, to get help here. That is the point.
Why we do this
Everything at Kettle Lane comes from words Jesus said:
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28, KJV)
What we believe
We follow Jesus, who fed the hungry and welcomed everyone. We believe God loves every person in this city, and that the church exists for its neighbours.
