What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm welcome, particularly from our Welcome Team who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go. There will be approximately 30 mins of singing with opportunity for people to pray or participate during that time, or just sit back and observe. After the notices there will be a preach from one of the leaders of the Church with an opportunity to respond at the end of the service.

Refreshments are served at 9.30am and after the service when there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.
 

What happens to the children at church?

We have a fantastic programme for the children at the Church for ages 0–18. Children stay with their parents at the start of the service as we sing together for the first part of the morning. Someone will announce when the children and youth need to go to their programme. 

There is a manned creche running throughout the whole morning where you can leave your pre-school children, or stay with them and watch the service through a video link.

For more information about what happens in the children's work please visit the relevant page on this website.
 

Is there a dress code?

Not at all! Please just be yourself and come dressed in whatever you feel comfortable.
 

Will I have to join in?

You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
 

I have more questions, how can I get in touch and ask them.

Please feel free to contact us.
