A Warm Welcome 

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at the Church building (map) for our Sunday Service starting at 10:30am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team who will be at the front door.

We serve free tea, coffee and biscuits after the service, so do stay and say hello. It is a great way to meet people and get your bearings.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There are disabled toilets just off the main foyer.

Our Service

The main service begins at 10.30am with a warm welcome from one of our team members, who will share news and notices about what’s going on in the life of the church. Then follows a time of sung worship, led by our music team. We typically have 3 or 4 songs lasting approximately 20 minutes. Sometimes a person might pray out loud or read a small passage from the bible. People may also share things that they believe God is saying to the whole church family, as well as sharing how God has been working in their lives over the past week. This might seem strange the first time you hear it but it’s all part of our connecting with God. One of our teaching team will then give a sermon that is bible based and that we can apply to our everyday life. After allowing a time for the congregation to reflect and respond. We then finish with a final worship song or two. There is always an opportunity to pray with a member of the Prayer Ministry team at the end of the service.

What about my children?

We have a great programme lined up for kids of all ages:

• Creche (0 months to 2 years) - A dedicated area at the rear of the church
• Children’s Church (3-12 years) - See below for details
• Young people (13+ years) - Stay in main service

Children stay with their parent or grown-up at the start of the service for the welcome, songs and notices. We really value worshipping God all together as a family. After 20 minutes or so, someone will announce that it’s time for them to go to their groups. 

The children's group activities vary depending on the age but usually there are bible stories, testimonies, prayers, music, craft, drama, fun games and free play. Your children will be brought back to the main church as soon as the service finishes.

Getting Connected

Life Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our Life Groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out Life Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.
