On Sundays @ Church

You’re welcome to come visit us anytime, but what might you expect to find?

The People

You will find a real mixture of people, in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Our format is pretty simple – there is singing, prayer, readings from the Bible, a kids song and a time especially for the kids, as well as a message from the Bible (which normally lasts between 20-30 minutes). If you think this sounds long, we hope you might be surprised at how engaging it can be, as we believe that real hope for hard questions of life comes from the depth of the Scriptures, where we discover the person of Jesus. You might like to listen to some examples on our Youtube channel first.

Afterwards, we have time to chat over a cup of tea or coffee, and on the first Sunday each month share lunch from 1.00pm and have food and fun around the table together.

We don’t assume that everyone knows what to do, so don’t worry about that – you can relax and we’ll walk you through it. You can listen in or get involved as you like- there is no pressure or expectation on you to say, do or give anything. The whole meeting lasts just over an hour.

For the Kids

We aim to make the whole family feel included in what we do. Kids are part of that family, so we don’t expect them to be silent – we want them to feel part of things.

During our service the kids enjoy their song which brings energy and actions to our midst, and then they have their own times together- hearing from the bible, playing games and doing craft. They are currently on their way through the Big Story of the Bible and how it all fits together to point us to Jesus.

There is also a creche available for pre school kids, with toys, and their own time to connect with God in a way that brings simple truths in a fun way that they might grow to know Him from their youngest years.

We are grateful to have a good number of people serving in Sunday school and in creche so that our kids might grow in love and life of Jesus.

Sometimes the kids stay in with the adults. During the 20-min bible talk for adults they are either free to listen or we can give them a kids pack with colouring-in, word games etc.

There are also a range of toys and games for pre school kids / toddlers to enjoy during this time.

Who else will be there?

We have a real family feel, and extend a warm welcome to all people, regardless of background or life circumstances, and regardless of where they are at in their spiritual journey. This is a place where you should find the safety to come as you are, to be seen, heard, and understood, without being judged, and to find help to grow and to become part of an encouraging and supportive community.

What will I hear?

Creative and relevant Bible teaching is at the heart of all that we do. Generally we work through books of the bible, seeking to understand what they have to say for our lives.

We encourage and seek to develop a team of preachers and teachers, who are trained and equipped, so they might share the load by serving in this way, although our pastor takes the lead in preaching and teaching.

If you’d like to listen in before coming to visit us you’ll find messages on our Youtube channel.
