Prayer and Worship: In-the-building and Online

The church is open for private prayer most mornings at the following times:

Tuesday-Fridays 9am–12 noon
Sunday 9am–12 noon

Our services are currently on a fortnightly rhythm. The first, third & fifth Sundays are held in the building, and the second and fourth are online. Both start at 10am.

From June 6th there'll be more services in the building, with a 10am Service with Communion most Sundays (except for the last Sunday in the month where there's an online Simple Service and private prayer).

You can see the latest online service here:
