What to expect
We know that walking into a church can be nerve – racking. We don’t expect everyone to be Christian, in fact we love that many are coming to check out Jesus for the first time.
At our meetings you’ll find a group of people who live and work in the city and come together to learn of the life, love and freedom that Jesus offers. If you are not familiar with church, our meetings are very relaxed and you will always find a warm welcome.
You won’t be asked to say or do anything that you’re uncomfortable with. There will be live music, prayers, Bible reading and a sermon during the service. Afterwards there will be a chance to stick around for good food and conversation. We are a social lot, but if you need space, that’s cool with us also.
