For people with disabilities
We're an inclusive church - everyone is welcome. All areas of our premises are wheelchair-accessible and we have parking spaces near the entrance.
Sorry, we do not currently have a loop for hearing aid users.
First visit on a Sunday?
We all had a 'first day' at church, and here you will find many friendly people. Worship starts at 11am so it's probably best to turn up about 10.30am.
Wear whatever you feel comfortable in! We're an informal church and we welcome everyone just as they are. After the meeting there are free refreshments provided and an opportunity get to know each other better.
Every meeting begins with a time of praise and worship, then at about 11.30am the Children and Youth go to their own groups upstairs.
First visit on a weekday?
Why not drop in to the Oasis Coffee Shop for great food, pleasant relaxing surroundings and friendly people. The "Oasis" is open from 11.30am until 2.30pm
To help and encourage everyone, we have a full range of activities in the week.
What we believe
We are a totally Christian church and passionately believe that everyone can have a relationship with God. We further believe that this relationship with God is possible only through Jesus Christ who invites us to follow Him. We want everyone to go home encouraged, inspired, and at peace
We have good relationships with the other local church leaders and congregations. If you are interested in exploring the Christian faith and lifestyle then please let us help you.
