VISITING

Sunday Gatherings
Our time together begins at 5pm. If it's your first time visiting us we recommend coming a few minutes early to get acquainted with the people and building, and so you can grab a drink to bring in the service.
If you're coming with kids, aim for 10 minutes early so we can show you and them around and answer any questions you might have.
We take part in communion every week. At some point during the gathering everyone, including children, will be welcome to come forward and partake in the bread and cup.
During the sermon the speaker may invite people to participate in discussion. Feel free to engage this as much or as little as you like. It’s okay to speak up. It’s okay to say nothing.
We’re casual, easy-going, and relaxed. Please feel free to grab a coffee or use the bathroom during the gathering.
If you’ve brought children with you, you’ve come to the right place. Kids, along with their energy and personality, are welcome here. If kids make noise, that’s okay. If they spill a drink, that’s okay.
We have an unsupervised nursery you can use with you child.
Children from grades 1 to 6 will be dismissed during the gathering. Depending on what they’re up to, they may return to join everyone for communion. As a parent/guardian you are free to decide if your child will participate in communion.
