What you will see
We meet in a School Hall. We have been here for 25 years and we really like the freedom that this facility offers us. We dress comfortably and most weeks you will be greeted at the door by a couple of church members. Our time together usually starts with singing. The musicians are of all ages with instruments ranging from flutes and violins to guitars and (gentle) drums. The music is a mix of new songs and old favourites. You might be surprised at the range of nationalities and ages in the fellowship. We are a church family.
What you will hear
In everything that we do we try to bring honour and glory to Jesus Christ. We read God’s word together. We praise God for His mercy and sovereign grace. We seek Him in earnest prayer for the needs of this world, our country, and for each other. The preaching is usually lead by one of the elders in the fellowship and most weeks other members contribute to the service as well. We celebrate the Lord’s supper together monthly and this is followed by a shared church lunch. Please join us on these occassions.
What happens next?
After the service we break into smaller discussion groups. Younger children have Sunday School, there is a youth group, a second language speakers group, and an adult group. We meet for about 30 minutes and then enjoy morning tea together. If you are a new face in the crowd, this is an opportunity to get to know some people better and to ask questions. There is an offering box near the door, but we don’t take up an offering during the service.
Is there an evening meeting or weekday meeting?
We have Sunday evening meetings every second week. These have a slightly different character to the morning meetings in that topics and cultural issues are often discussed. There are also midweek Bible study and prayer meetings, church lunches, youth activities and other events. Opportunties for study and fellowship are detailed in the weekly Church bulletin and announced at the end of the main service.
Our hope is that you will feel valued, at home, and welcomed.
