Sunday morning is the main weekly gathering of the Church body and is an open service where everyone is welcome. The service begins at 10.30 promptly and is usually over by around 12.00.

The purpose of the gathering is first and foremost to glorify God through corporate worship, prayer and the proclamation of His word. The service begins with praise and worship songs interspersed with Bible reading. There is also a time for corporate prayer offered by a member of the body on behalf of the whole church. This is followed by a systematic Expository sermon delivered by one of the church Bible teachers.The sermon usually lasts around 45 minutes and is delivered in a verse by verse manner through the Bible , one book at a time. The teaching is available in MP3 format at the end of each service for those with USB memory sticks.

Our children are loved and cared for during the sermon through a Sunday School for those aged 4-10 years and a Youth Group for those in year 6 or above. We also provide a separate room where mothers can can take their babies during the teaching and still hear the Word via a live audio feed.

We partake in the Lords Supper on the first Sunday of each month during the morning service. There is no offering bag passed around and no pressure upon individuals to `join the church'. Visitors are very welcome to drop in and enjoy the service. Afterwards, tea and coffee are served and people have the chance to enjoy fellowship together.



 
 
Refreshments are served after the service and there is also a selection of books and DVDs for sale.
