Services
Sunday Worship
Our weekly Sunday worship gatherings combine contemporary and traditional elements in a welcoming atmosphere. The service includes music-led worship, scripture readings, and practical Bible teachings. Attendees can participate in person at our Chandos Street location or join via live YouTube stream, with post-service fellowship opportunities available both physically and virtually.
Children's Groups
We provide age-appropriate spiritual development programs through Tiny Stars (under 5s), Little Stars (school age), and youth groups. These sessions combine fun activities with Bible teaching tailored to different developmental stages. Our safeguarded environment allows children to build friendships while learning about Christian faith in an engaging manner.
Pastoral Care
Our dedicated pastoral team offers one-to-one support, prayer ministry, and spiritual guidance. This includes home visits for those unable to attend services regularly and confidential listening sessions. The service extends to practical support through our community connections and partnerships with local organisations.
Community Outreach
We actively engage with the local community through facility hire for non-profit groups, mental health partnerships like Flourish, and seasonal events. Our mission coordinator organises initiatives that address local needs while maintaining our core Christian values of compassion and service to others.
Online Ministry
Our YouTube live stream enables participation from any location, with interactive elements maintained through post-service virtual 'coffee' sessions. This digital ministry includes access to sermon archives and online small groups, ensuring spiritual connection remains accessible for all members regardless of physical location.
