Our gatherings are informal, during which we spending some time worshipping together, hearing a Bible-based talk that inspires and encourages, an opportunity for prayer and some time to connect with others. 

Each service normally lasts around 75 minutes, and there are free refreshments served afterwards.

Everyone starts together in the main service (during 9:30am service only). Then, after about 15 minutes, the children and young people (up to 14’s) are invited to join engaging and age-appropriate groups led by our children’s and youth team for 60 minutes during the main service time.

They are safe caring environments where they can learn about God and deepen their understanding together.

After each of our gatherings,  there are free refreshments served.

Children and Young people are the church of today as well as the church of tomorrow. Each week, there are engaging and age-appropriate activities led by our children’s and youth team. Most weeks, everyone starts together in the main service. Then, after about 15 minutes, children and young people (up to 14’s) are invited to head off to their groups.

All groups are caring and safe environments, with fully trained leaders where children and young people are able to learn about God and grow in their faith.
