FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Visiting a new church can be a daunting experience, especially if you are new to the area or are attending a church service for the first time. We hope that the following information will provide an insight into our church so that you will feel comfortable when you visit. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. 


What time do Sunday services start?

Our services are held on Sunday mornings and all start at 10:30. 


Where can I park?

Whilst we do not have on-site parking, there are a number of free (on Sundays) on-street parking spaces adjacent to and near to the church.  There are also several pay and display car parks nearby.

The streets around the church have pay and display parking spaces with a one-hour limit Monday to Saturday. 


What happens when I arrive?

You will be greeted at one of the two entrances to the church building - on Nelson Street and Robert Street. The Robert Street entrance provides easier access for children, push-chairs, wheelchairs and anyone with limited mobility.  


Where do I sit? 

You may sit wherever you feel most comfortable.


Is there a dress-code?

No.  Come as you wish!


Do you have baby-changing facilities?

We have baby changing facilities available in two areas within the church building.


Do you have disabled persons access?

There is disabled persons access from the side entrance on Robert Street. We have disabled persons facilities at both ground floor and first floor levels. We also have a lift for access to the first floor. For the hard of hearing there is a 'loop' system in the main church building and the ground floor Fellowship Room.


What happens during the Sunday services?

During our services there is generally a time of sung worship before the children leave for their own activities on site (on the first, second and third Sundays of each month). The fourth Sunday of each month is an all-church family service. Services include sung worship, prayer, Bible reading and teaching.

During our morning worship service on the third Sunday of each month we share communion together.


Are there Bibles available?

There are Bibles in the pews for your use. Also the Bible readings are usually projected on screen.  

  
Can I arrange a meeting with the minister or one of the church leaders?

Speak to anyone after the service and they will introduce you to the minister, or a church leader.
