Arriving

Entry to the church building is directly through the carpark – just head towards the large glass doors and into our foyer.
Upon entering the building, our greeters will welcome you and provide you with a name-tag (you can politely decline if you would like). All of our regular attenders wear one, and it’s a great way to help us get to know each other.

10am
Service Overview
We love the joy that kids bring to families. Our 10am service is family-friendly, and has a contemporary feel with modern music, led by a small band.
We believe it’s important for kids to see their parents engage in church life. As such, during the first 20 minutes of the service kids participate with their families as they join in singing, hearing the Bible read, a short kids talk, and have the opportunity to share in the Lord’s Supper once a month. After this time, kids up to Year 6 head out to their own learning program with our specialised team of teachers.
Children under school age can join our creche program from 9:55am.
After the service, adults and kids share in morning tea together. It’s a great opportunity to meet new people and enjoy conversation over a tea or coffee.
