Plan Your Visit
Thinking about visiting?
We know visiting a church for the first time can feel daunting. Whether you’re exploring faith, returning to church, or looking for community, you’re welcome here.
Which service is for me?
-
For people who enjoy a reflective, traditional service with communion.
The doors open at 9:15am with tea and coffee served before the service begins at 9:30am. The service includes hymns lead by our choir, liturgy, Bible readings, a talk, and communion, before finishing around 10:30am. Tea and coffee are then served afterwards as people begin arriving for the 11am service.
-
For people who enjoy a contemporary family service with modern worship music, space to explore faith, and an energetic atmosphere for all ages.
The doors open at 10:30am with tea and coffee served, alongside children’s check-in, before the service begins at 11am. The service starts with all-age worship before children and young people head out to their groups. This is followed by sung worship led by our band, a talk, and time to respond or reflect, before finishing around 12:15pm. Tea and coffee are then served afterwards, with plenty of time to chat and get to know others.
-
For people who enjoy a stripped-back contemporary service, space to explore faith, and a relaxed atmosphere before heading into the week.
The doors open at 5:45pm with tea, coffee, and snacks served before the service begins at 6pm. The service includes stripped-back contemporary worship, a talk, prayer, and space to respond or reflect, before finishing around 7pm. Afterwards, there’s time to chat and get to know others, while young people can hang out, play games, and eat pizza together.
Each of our Sunday services has a slightly different feel. Find out what to expect, who each service is best suited for, and what a typical Sunday looks like.
