What to expect
A Sunday Gathering is simply a time we come together for "church". We sing modern songs together, about God and to God, and we hear a fun, encouraging and challenging message from a great speaker to help us learn more about God and get closer to Him. The speaker will usually pray and often these prayers will be inspired by the Holy Spirit which connects directly with your life and circumstance (prophecy). Some Sunday's we take bread and juice together as Communion to remember Jesus death and resurrection, which everyone is welcome to participate in. There is no dress code, but we do ask you wear something :) "Smart Casual" is most common. You don't need to know The Bible or have one to come. If you want to follow along with the references in a message or learn more, you can get one for free at a gathering or download a Bible onto your device for here. Usually before or after a gathering, we'll have tea, coffee and some cookies too.

Kids Programmes
Kids are welcome in our Gatherings. We believe that all ages can experience God's love and grace together. We have a variety of supervised activities available for kids of all ages during our gatherings ran by a growing team of awesome leaders.
​
We believe in
​
1. The one true and living God who eternally exists in three persons in unity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
​
2. The Divine inspiration and authority of the Holy Scripture.
​
3. The original perfection of creation; the inherent corruptness of humanity through the Fall; the necessity of repentance and regeneration by grace and through faith in Christ alone, and the eternal separation from God of the finally unrepentant.
​
4. The virgin Birth, sinless life atoning death, triumphant Resurrection, ascension, and continuing intercession of our Lord Jesus Christ, His Second Coming, and eternal Kingdom reign.
​
5. The justification and sanctification of believers through the finished work of Christ, their security as they remain in Him, and their future resurrection in an incorruptible body.
​
6. The Sacrament of Baptism by immersion, and of the Lord's Supper.
​
7. The baptism of the Holy Spirit for believers with supernatural signs, empowering the Church for its mission in the world.
​
8. The gifts of the Holy Spirit for the building up of the Church and ministry to the world.
​
9. Christ's leadership of the Church through the ascension ministries of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, for the unity, maturity, and growth of the Church.
​
10. The privilege and responsibility of wise stewardship of all that God has given, including the practice of tithing to the local church.
​
11. Marriage is ordained by God in scripture for the exclusive union between one man and one woman, for their mutual help and comfort.
