What happens at Church?
When we meet together for church, we always hear the Bible read aloud, because we are sure that God speaks to us through His Word, the Bible.
We also pray to God, speaking to him about the things that concern us and delight us, asking Him to be at work in the world.
We have a twenty-minute talk from the Bible, because we want to grow in knowing Jesus and obeying his teaching.
We also sing together - an ancient practice of churches throughout history (though most of our songs were written recently).
There is time to chat and get to know people before and after our Service time.

Values
The best way to understand what our church is like is to come and see for yourself. But if we had to boil it down to some core values, they would be:
God speaks: we listen
We value reading and teaching God’s word, the Bible. It's not just a book; it is the living, active word of God that shapes and transforms our lives.
god is worthy: we Praise Him
We value worship as the best and right response to God. The first aspect of our attitude toward God is to glorify him for his loving goodness and faithfulness.
God provides: We Ask Him
We value prayer, as an expression of dependence on God. The second aspect of our attitude toward God is the reliance on him for everything we need, expressed in prayer.
God put us together: We Help One Another
We value loving service. We desire to display our discipleship to Jesus through the things we do for each other and with each other.
Jesus rescues: we share his good news
We value the clear proclamation of the lordship of Jesus. We are convinced that the good news of Jesus’ victory over sin and death ought to be announced as God’s core message to his world.
