Outreach
In our town
Part of the vision of Reading Family Church is to leave footprints of justice, hope and mercy across our town, playing our part in loving and serving our local communities.
We want to help anyone in need wherever we can – regardless of race, religion, age, gender, sexuality, marital status or disability.
