Prayer

Prayer is a crucial part of our church life - we depend on God for everything so our times of meeting together to give thanks to God and ask for God's help through the Holy Spirit are an essential part of our church life.

We have various opportunities during the week for people to meet to pray together.

Life Group's (after the 1st & 3rd Sunday of each month) provide a great opportunity to share and pray for each other in an informal, more personal way. Please see the church calendar for venue's.
Thursdays at the chapel - 7:30pm (after the 2nd and 4th Sunday each month). These evenings usually last about an hour, starting with a short devotional message from the Bible before we spend the rest of the time in prayer talking to our heavenly Father. Everyone is welcome to join us so please accept this as your open invitation. You're not expected to pray out loud if you do not wish to - however it is encouraging for others to hear your prayers if you do. It is a beautiful way of joining in fellowship in the presence of God.
Sundays - Prayer is a part of every morning service and open prayer plays a part in many of our evening meetings.
Informal groups - we encourage people to pray with each other whenever they can, so if you have time and a desire to get together with one or more people to pray please feel free!

Planning your Visit

Hello!

If you're new to church don't worry, so were most of us at some point! If you're thinking about coming along on a Sunday here are some basic bits and pieces you might find helpful.

Dress code - we don't have one! Just come in what you're comfortable in - God's much more interested in what's going on inside you than what you look like outside!

Singing - yes, we sing songs of worship and songs to encourage each other. Some of the songs are traditional but many have a contemporary feel to them. Usually our music team of keyboards, guitar's, flutes and drums lead the singing. If you don't know the songs, or aren't really a 'singer' that's OK - you don't have to join in!

Children - we love children and they are always welcome. Sunday mornings start at 10:00am with 'The Lighthouse' especially for children. Check out the 'Children and Youth' page for more info. Children then come and join their parents during the main service - which we try to make it accessible for them, though for younger one's you may want to bring something to help them. For the very youngest (0-6) we run and supervised creche during the service.

Bible teaching - this is a key part of what we do on Sundays. Each week our minister explains a part of the Bible and helps us see how it applies to our lives the rest of the week. Our Bible teaching times are massively important to us because we believe that the Bible is God's word and the primary way he speaks to us - so we unashamedly make time to read and study it each week.

How long? The Sunday morning service is a maximum of 1hr 15 min (apart from when it includes communion - then it often lasts a bit longer).

Parking - we have a large car park at the chapel

Accessibility - our whole building is fully accessible, with a lift for those who need help to get to the first floor. We operate a loop system for hearing impaired.
