What To Expect

Your first Sunday.
A place for you.

A welcome at the door, time to worship and something to take into your week.

Faith. Friendship. A fresh start.

From the first hello

  1. Arrive

    A face to welcome you

    Say hello to the welcome team. They can answer your questions and help you find a seat.

  2. Worship

    Make room for God

    We sing and pray together. Join in as you feel comfortable, or take a moment to listen.

  3. Grow

    Something for your week

    Hear a message rooted in Scripture, with encouragement to put faith into practice in everyday life.

  4. Connect

    Stay for a conversation

    There is more to Sunday than the service. Take a little time to meet someone and get to know the church family.

You do not need to know anyone to come along.
