What to expect on Sunday
You will be welcomed at the door and offered a copy of our weekly newsletter. We usually begin with singing and continue with family notices and prayer. Children go upstairs to their program about 15 minutes into the service. Then we listen to a message and usually sing again before heading out into the hall for tea & coffee.
If you are with us for the first time, a barista coffee is on us and we hope that you will join us at the visitors' table so that we can get to know you better and give you a welcome pack with info about the church.
We are comfortable with casual or more formal attire.
