I’m New
We’re Glad You’re Here
Whether you’re curious about Jesus, rediscovering your faith, or looking for a local church community, we’d love to meet you and journey alongside you.
What Happens at Church?
Family Service | 9:45am
When you arrive, our Welcome Team will be there to greet you and help you feel at home. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our church, visit the Info Desk in the foyer after the service.
A typical service goes for 75 minutes and includes worship, some information about what’s going on at church, a message from a pastor or guest speaker, and an opportunity to respond to the message. If you would like prayer for anything at all, our Prayer Team is available at the end of each service at the back of the auditorium. They wear ‘Prayer Team’ lanyards and would love to pray with you.
You can be involved in the service as much or as little as you like. There is no pressure to do things like raise your hands during worship, give money or respond to the message.
Contemporary Gathering | 5:30pm (excluding public holidays)
Our evening service is a relaxed, contemporary gathering that lasts around an hour and is for people of all ages and stages of faith. We meet in the auditorium at 5:30pm, beginning with a time of worship before hearing a practical, Bible-based message.
This service is home to many of our Young Adults and is a great place to connect with others, build friendships, and explore faith in a welcoming community.
Bring The Whole Family!
We love seeing kids and families feel at home at church. Our Sunday morning programs provide a fun, safe, and engaging environment where they can play games, make friends, and learn about Jesus.
During school terms, kids and intermediates begin in the 9:45am service with their families before heading off to their age-appropriate spaces.
Your kids are also welcome to stay with you during the service, and there is a room off the foyer where you can watch the service and look after your little one.
Under 5s (Lounge off the foyer)
A caring and interactive space with free play, songs, stories, and activities designed to help young children discover God’s love. Parents are welcome to stay until their child feels comfortable. Safety is important to us, so all children must be signed in and out by a parent or caregiver.
Parent Room (off the main foyer)
A room that allows parents and caregivers to care for young children while still watching the service. Baby change facilities are available in this room and also in the mobility toilet across the foyer.
Check-In for Primary Kids
Look for the Kids Welcome Desk in the foyer when you arrive. Check-in opens 10 minutes before the service and again when kids go out to their spaces. Our team will help you register your children and answer any questions.
Primary School (Years 1–6) (Downstairs, to the left)
A fun and engaging program with games, worship, Bible teaching, and great leaders who love helping children grow in their faith. Safety is important to us, so all children must be signed in and out by a parent or caregiver.
Local Intermediates (Years 7–9) (Downstairs, to the right)
Our Intermediates Sunday programme is a fun and welcoming space for Year 7–9 students to build friendships, explore their faith, and grow in their relationship with Jesus through games, discussions, and biblical teachin
If I Need Assistance, Who Do I Look Out For?
Every Sunday morning, our Welcome Team is on hand to help with any questions you might have about church life. You’ll spot them wearing lanyards! They’re based at the doors and in the auditorium, so don’t hesitate to say hello and ask for help or directions.
And of course, if you’re unsure where to go or can’t spot anyone with a lanyard, just ask someone nearby, or head to the Info Desk in the foyer after the service, we’re a community happy to help!
