New to church?
Below you can find some frequently asked questions if you're not sure what to expect!
What happens?
You're welcome to arrive from 10am to chat if you'd like to!
We start our meeting at 10:30am by singing together in worship.
We have some church announcements, and then a talk based on biblical teaching.
We sometimes take some (gluten free) bread and (non-alcoholic) wine together in remembrance of Jesus (see Mark 14:22-24).
What should I wear?
There isn't a dress code - most people dress casually.
Are there children's activities?
Yes there are! The children and youth go out of the service to their own activities once we've shared our announcements. The person hosting our meeting will let you know when.
We have groups for both primary and secondary school age. If your child is pre-school age, we have a space in our children's room with some toys and games where you can bring them to be looked after by our children's team. Alternatively, you're welcome to stay in the main service. Don't worry if they make a bit of noise! You can always pop out into the foyer if you're feeling it's getting too much!
What happens after?
After the service there is plenty of time to get in touch and to talk with other people with tea, coffee, and biscuits! People usually stick around for half an hour to an hour after.
Will it cost?
There is no charge!
Can someone show me around?
Just speak to one of the welcome team at the entrance, they would love to show you around!
Am I allowed to come to church?
Everyone is welcome to come to church. No matter your background, we'd love you to join us!
​If you're new to church altogether, please feel free to join in singing (words will be on the screen) but don't feel you have to - no-one will mind (or notice!) whether you do or don't! If we're taking communion (bread and wine), you're really welcome to simply sit and observe what's going on or, if you're a believer in Jesus and want to follow Him as Lord of your life, then come and take part! After you've listened to the preaching (talk on the Bible), please feel free to come and ask any questions you like after the meeting.
​
You're really welcome.

Is there parking nearby?
Yes. There is a car park for the conference centre which we can use for free. Ignore the signs outside and just give us your reg plate on your way in. If you do happen to get a parking ticket whilst you're with us, don't panic and don't pay! Just get in touch with us and we'll get it cancelled for you.
