What to Expect

What to Expect When You Visit

We know that stepping into a new church for the first time can feel a little unfamiliar, but we want you to feel right at home. Here is a helpful guide to what you can expect when you join us for a service

A Warm Welcome

When you arrive, our friendly Welcome Team will greet you at the door. They are there to say hello, hand you any necessary materials for the service, and answer any questions you might have.

Giving & Offerings

If you wish to make a financial offering or donation to support the work of the church, a member of our Welcome Team will be happy to direct you to the dedicated area where you can do this. Please note there is never any pressure to give.

Finding a Seat

You are welcome to sit wherever you feel most comfortable. However, please keep a brief lookout for a few specially designated areas:

The Center Front Rows: These are occasionally reserved if we are celebrating a Baptism or during special services like Remembrance Sunday.

The Front Left-Hand Side: Several rows here are usually reserved so our Young Church children and leaders can sit together before they head out to their activities.

Before the Service Begins

As you settle into your seat before Morning Worship starts, take a look at the screens around the church. We loop church intimations and announcements here to keep everyone updated on upcoming events, community groups, and activities planned for the weeks ahead.

Can’t Join Us in Person?

Don’t worry if you can’t make it along to our services in person. We love connecting with our online community! You can watch our services stream live every Sunday, or catch up on previous worship services at your convenience.
