If you haven’t been to church in a while, or you’re coming to church for the first time, it can be a bit a daunting for some and you may have a few questions you’d like answered.
We’ll try and answer some of them here, but if there is anything you’re not sure about, please get in touch.
Our Sunday service starts at 10:30am, so come along a few minutes earlier to get settled before it starts. But don’t worry if you’re late! Our door is always open, and we’ll help you find a seat.
Anywhere! If you’re not sure, a member of our congregation will help you find a space.
We make a big effort to welcome everyone to our church, please stay and have a drink and a chat with us at the end of the service in the cafe.
Holy Communion is the Christian way of corporately remembering and celebrating what Jesus Christ did for us. We share bread and wine, just as Jesus did with his disciples during the Last Supper. Anyone who has been baptised as a believer or been confirmed can take communion. Don’t worry if you haven’t or if it isn’t appropriate for you. Please come up to the front with a book, and the minister will give you a blessing.
Please don’t worry about this! We have many young families in our congregation, and it’s lovely to see and hear children in the service. If needed, we always have a few toys available. We also have our Sunday School groups.
Yes, we’d love to. During the last song of every service, two members of our prayer ministry team will be standing at the front of the church, ready to pray with you. You can tell the ministry team as much or as little as you like (it’s all confidential), and they will pray for you.
The offering during each service is financial gift that each of our church members have committed to give to help run and maintain our church and to provide ministry to our community. You are under no obligation to contribute to this, but we are very grateful for any contribution that you’d like to make.
That’s fine, we all have questions and it helps to talk about it. It’s a natural part of being human! Speak to one of the welcome team or the minister at the end of the service, and they’ll be happy to chat with you or arrange a visit.
