Planning your Visit

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 for our Sunday Service starting at 10:45am. 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 will be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team who will be wearing a Welcome lanyard.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a hearing loop for anyone who needs it. The disabled toilet along with a baby changing area are with the other toilet facilities off the main foyer.

Our Service

The service begins at 10.45am, there is a time of sung worship, We typically have 2 or 3 songs lasting approximately 15 minutes.
Our children and young people, leave the service after about 20 minutes for their own activities, these groups are called Energise.

We pray and share together as well as reading from the Bible followed by a talk which stretches and challenges us. Once a month, usually on the second Sunday we have an "All Age" Service. We share Communion monthly, usually on the third Sunday.

Refreshments are served after the service.

We would love to see you, you would be most welcome

What about my kids?

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

Creche (0 months to 3 years) available
Energise (4-10 years)
Energise(11-16 years)

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. It will be announced when the children and young people leave for Energise. You will need to go with your children to their groups and register them as part of our child safety policy.
Energise activities vary depending on the age but there is always a friendly welcome along with bible stories, praying, music, craft, drama, fun games and free play. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes.

Being part of one of our small 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 during the day and some evening. if you would be interested in joining a Homegroup, please do have a chat with Tom, our minister..
