Together, we serve to know Christ and to make Christ known

A family-friendly, Bible-believing church on Tokai Road. You don't need to know anyone, dress a certain way, or have been to church before.

A Sunday here

Together, we serve to know Christ and to make Christ known

We sit in auditorium-style seating. A few people lead from the stage — praying, reading the Bible, introducing songs — and a music team leads the singing. About halfway through, one of our pastors preaches from the Bible for around half an hour.

Morning service

Shorter and quieter. There's no separate children's teaching, but children are very welcome in with you.

Main service

Everyone starts together, then children up to Grade 10 go to their age groups. There's a Baby Room at the back of the hall. Livestreamed on YouTube.

An open Bible

Evening service

The same shape, later in the day. A Bible helps but isn't essential — an app on your phone works just as well.

“Let us not give up meeting together, but encouraging one another.”

Hebrews 10:25

Children & Youth

Every age has somewhere to belong

We want children to come to know Jesus, to live for Him, and to share Him with those around them. That's what shapes all our ministries to families.

Kids Church

Grade R–7 sing, pray, hear a talk from the Bible, and go into small groups for discussion and a take-home activity. Where possible we follow the passage the adults are learning.

Preschoolers work through the Jesus Storybook Bible. Toddlers have a room with a live stream so parents can still follow the service, and there's a Baby Room in the auditorium for babies under one.
