what should i expect during a worship service?

When we gathertogether for Sunday Worship, you will be greeted at the door and you will be able to ask any questions you may have. All of our services have the same style and the same aim: to make much of Jesus Christ. Our musical worship is a mixture of contemporary and traditional music. We preach the totality of God’s word and seek to equip you with the tools you need to make disciples. Please click here for a preview of one of our services.
