Sunday School
Sundays: 10.15am - 11.00am
We have classes from preschool up to Year 7. We sing choruses and in our classes we use “Go Teach” material as our curriculum and this gives the children the opportunity to review the lessons being taught and complete the activities in these workbooks at home.
Children's Church
During Sunday Morning Service
All the boys and girls up to the age of 7 leave mid-way through our morning service to learn a story from the Bible, have a snack and do some crafts and games!
Creché

We have a fully supervised creché available for our youngest members during our Sunday morning service!

Our Services
We hold services each week, where we meet as a church to worship God and learn from His word. You can find all the details below. You'd be made very welcome to join us in person or you can stream online!
Sunday Morning Service
Sundays @ 11.30pm
Each Sunday morning we have Morning Worship. This service has a traditional feel and includes a mix of hymn singing, prayers and teaching from God's Word. Pastor Anderson is normally the speaker, but from time to time it's a visiting speaker. Normally Pastor Anderson undertakes a series of teachings on Sunday mornings.
This service is followed by our Breaking of Bread service where we meet at the Lord's Table to remember his death upon the cross for our sins.
Sunday Evening Service
Sundays @ 6.30pm
On Sunday Evenings we meet for the Gospel Meeting where once again we hear of God's love for us, how He sent His only Son to die for us on the cross, and how we must confess our sins, repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Again the speaker will usually be Pastor Anderson. Each Sunday evening we have a singer (or a group) and from time to time we have a testimony night.
Midweek Meeting
Thursdays @ 7.45pm
Each Thursday evening (Sept-April) we have a Mid Week Meeting where Pastor Anderson takes a subject and conducts a series of studies and bible teachings. We are currently studying 1st John under the title 'Knowing What We Know'. At the conclusion of the study each evening we remain for our Fellowship Prayer Meeting.
