Our Sunday morning worship gatherings begin at 10:30am, featuring a blend of contemporary songs and traditional hymns. The service includes prayer, Bible-based teachings, and opportunities for reflection. Children and youth participate in age-appropriate groups during part of the session, while crche facilities remain available for younger children throughout. The service typically lasts 90 minutes, followed by refreshments in the hall.
Children's Groups
Jam and Ignite groups provide tailored activities for children and youth during Sunday services. These sessions focus on age-appropriate Bible teaching, interactive learning, and community building. Parents receive guidance during their first visit to register children and understand group structures. The programme aims to nurture young people's faith while supporting families in their spiritual journeys.
Community Outreach
We actively engage in local community initiatives, including health awareness events like 'Love Your Liver' liver health checks. Our outreach extends beyond Sunday services through partnerships with local organisations and practical support programmes. These efforts align with our mission to demonstrate God's love through tangible actions while maintaining accessibility for all community members.

We maintain clear procedures for reporting concerns and ensuring safe environments across all activities. Regular policy reviews and staff training uphold our commitment to creating secure spaces for worship and community engagement.

Opportunities exist for individuals to contribute through various volunteer roles, from welcome teams to ministry leadership. Participants receive guidance through our Leaders and Volunteers Agreement outlining expectations and values.
