What should I expect when I visit the church?
You will receive a very warm welcome particularly from our stewards who will be able to answer any questions you may have.
Our service style is informal and relaxed. Services usually begin with a time of worship and prayer, followed by a reading and a sermon, usually from the minister. The service usually concludes with a hymn. There is an opportunity during the service to make an offering for the work of the church, 10% of which is given to a missionary or ministry organisation (if you're a guest, we don't expect you to contribute if you don't want to). On the first Sunday of every month we share in communion during the service. We are always ready to cater for any children who may attend.
If you would like someone to pray with you after the service, please talk to the minister.
Refreshments are usually served in the coffee lounge after the service.
What do the children do at church?
Children and young people are very welcome at our worship, and we are always prepared to cater for them. During the worship part of the service we usually provide an area where children can sit together and do some colouring if they wish. Our worship usually includes at least one song that is particularly suited to children and we encourage children to join in worship with tambourines and other percussion instruments. Children are free to move around during the service. During the sermon children can go out to join junior church if they wish. Junior church usually takes place upstairs and a junior church leader and helper provide age appropriate teaching and activities. You may accompany your child to junior church if you wish.
Is there a dress code?
No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.
Will I have to join in?
Not at all! 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.
