Sunday Services
Every Sunday at 10am.
Whether you've been around church your whole life, you're returning after time away, or you've never set foot in one — there's a seat for you here. We'd love to meet you.
10:00am
Plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early so you've got time to grab a coffee, find a seat, and settle in. Our gatherings usually run for around 90 minutes — worship, a message from the Word, and time to respond and pray together.
Encounter Kids runs alongside the main service, so the whole family is sorted from the moment you walk in.
Shared lunch · once a month — once a month after the 10am service we eat together. Bring a plate if you can, or just bring yourself.
A simple Sunday, built around Jesus.
Nothing weird, nothing scary, nothing you have to figure out before you arrive. Just a community of people who love God and love each other — and you're welcome in the middle of all of it.
Worship that lifts
A live band leading us into worship — songs you might know, and a few you'll learn. Sing along, sit and soak, raise your hands or keep them in your pockets. There's no wrong way to worship.
A message that lands
A clear, encouraging message from the Bible — usually 25 to 35 minutes — designed to be both honest and hopeful. Bring a question, an open Bible, or just an open heart.
Encounter Kids
Our kids' programme runs every Sunday during the main service, with safe, vetted volunteers and age-appropriate teaching. Drop them off, head into worship, pick them up after.
Prayer and response
We always make space at the end for prayer — for healing, breakthrough, salvation, or just to talk to someone. Our prayer team would love to stand with you, if you want it.
Coffee and connection
Stick around after the service for a coffee on us. It's the easiest way to meet a few people, ask the questions you have, and start to feel at home. Once a month we share lunch together after the service — bring a plate or just bring yourself.
Come as you are
Casual dress, no expectations, no script you have to follow. If you're not sure what to wear or where to sit — show up and we'll sort the rest.
