What Is Christianity?

Christianity is about Jesus. But who is Jesus?

Jesus once asked his followers this question:

"Who do you say I am?"

A prophet with a new teaching?
A healer to the sick?
A saviour to a lost world?

WIC.1

Jesus claimed each of these, but most importantly, he claimed to be God in the flesh.

At the dawn of time he ignited human history when he spoke. He breathed life into the lungs of the first man and woman - and every inch of creation itself.

WIC2

But we rebelled. We turned against our King and followed our own ways, even though it would cost us our life. Our sin poisoned his perfect creation, giving way to sickness, injustice, and death.

WIC3

Sin separated us from one another, and from God.

Why did Jesus come?

But rather than cast off humanity, God sent his Son Jesus to enter into the world he Created - the one broken by our sin. He breathed our air, became human like us.

WIC4

He lived a perfect life - the one God intended we live - and called us to repent of our sin and follow him in faith.

Some believed his word and recognised him as King. Others denied him. They crowned him with thorns and murdered him. They rejected him, and so have we.

But God had a plan. Jesus willingly gave himself up to die on a cross to save us from God's judgment and the death we deserve.

WIC5

On that cross, he exchanged our rebellion for his obedience. Our brokenness for his perfection.

The Son of God died so we could live.

And on the third day, he rose to life again, defeating death forever.

And now, he sits on the throne of heaven, offering life through the Holy Spirit to all those who repent and trust in him.

WIC6

What does it mean for us?

Jesus is the King of Kings.

You can either crown him or crucify him. There is no middle ground.

No one will ever ask you a more important question than the one Jesus asked:

Who do you say I am?

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..
