Come and join us

Sundays are the highlight of our week. We meet to hear from the Bible and worship the living God — and we’d love to welcome you.

A morning together

What should I expect?

Our Sunday services are a great place to discover what we’re all about as a church. We gather as one church family, and newcomers are very welcome.

If you want to understand more about what we believe, you can read our Statement of Faith.

No pressure, just come

During the service

We do many of the things Christians have done for centuries. You are welcome to join in, or simply listen and see what you think.

  • We sing with joy to our Creator and Redeemer (our music is contemporary in style)

  • We confess our sins together, confident of our forgiveness in Christ

  • We pray to our Heavenly Father, who loves to hear our prayers

  • We read and preach God’s word — our sermons work through a book of the Bible, passage by passage

  • Each month we come to the Lord’s table, remembering and sharing in Christ’s death for us

Families are welcome

For children

Our service aims to be accessible to children of whatever age. We always have a kids’ talk and a kids’ song as part of the main gathering. During the sermon for the adults, the children go off to their own age-appropriate activities with experienced leaders.
