Every Sunday our children and youth join the whole church family for worship at 10am. After a short time of worship together the children and young people go out to their age specific groups for their own teaching sessions. The worship includes contemporary music, Bible readings and teaching, and prayers.

Our Family Sundays (All Age Service) are every first Sunday of the month.

Children start the service with the adults and then move to groups part way through, returning in time to share communion. We have a small play area for very young children.

We celebrate Holy Communion, which is open to all who are baptised and for whom it is their normal practice. Others (including children) are invited to receive a blessing.
Refreshments are available after the service.
