What our Sunday Services are likeEach service begins with a time of worship with songs. We typically have 2 or 3 songs lasting approximately 20 minutes. These times are often loud and lively and carries an atmosphere of celebration. We then spend some time praying, sharing news and notices, usually about what’s going on in the life of the church. One of our leaders will then give a talk that is Bible based and that we can apply to our everyday life. There is always an opportunity for those who regularly attend to give financially to the life of the church. We finish with a prayer and/or a final worship song. Sometimes there is an opportunity to receive prayer at the end of the service. Post-service, we invite you to our welcome lounge for a drink and to learn more about us—a fantastic opportunity to connect or take a break. The entire Sunday experience, from start to finish, spans 75 minutes.

What about my kids?We have a great programme lined up for kids of all ages. Children aged 0-18 have the option of either staying in the main service or going to various age based rooms for children's activities. There is a creche available for babies and toddlers. Children stay with their parent or grown-up if they prefer. You will need to go with your children to their groups and register them as part of our child safety policy. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes.
