What we Believe

images-heart-shape

We believe in living out our Christian faith as effectively as possible, having an impact on those who have not yet heard or experienced the great news about Jesus Christ.

We believe we should share the good news about Jesus, equip people in their faith journey and see them live out their faith in the world.

As a church, we believe in…

The one true God who lives eternally in three persons—the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world.

The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the written Word of God—fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.

The dignity of all people, made male and female in God's image to love, be holy and care for creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgement.

The incarnation of God’s eternal Son, the Lord Jesus Christ—born of the virgin Mary; truly divine and truly human, yet without sin.

The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying in our place, paying the price of sin and defeating evil, so reconciling us with God.

The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first fruits of our resurrection; his ascension to the Father, and his reign and mediation as the only Saviour of the world.

The justification of sinners solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ.

The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness.

The Church, the body of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood of all believers—given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit's gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel, promoting justice and love.

The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfil the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth.

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.
