Planning your first visit
Have you ever gone to a party or event where you knew nobody?
Did you feel the awkwardness of not knowing the way, wondering who is
who? You managed to get a cup of coffee and then just stood there on
the side wondering how you could join in. It feels so good if someone
welcomes you and is willing to help you join in, doesn't it?
To help you get to the church we provide the following key information. T
his information may not stop you feeling nervous but at least you will have
some idea of what is happening.

THE TWO THINGS THAT STOP PEOPLE GOING TO CHURCH
1. Not knowing how to get to the church.
Physical accessibility means we have included a range of
maps and directions to make us easy to find.
We have parking spaces nearly at the door,
We have signs and info on children's groups, signs to the toilets and have
tried to not overlook the common sense stuff to help you feel at home.

2. Fear of not knowing what is going to happen.
Emotional accessibility has to do with the comfort level someone has w
hen becoming involved in this new situation.
Will people be friendly to me?
Are there things in the service I can relate to?
Am I dressed right?
Do I understand what the preacher is saying?
Do I like the music?
Hopefully we have created a worship experience that is
sensitive to people who may not use religious language.

DRESS CODE
We do not have one but most people dress casual, although we are not going to turn you away if you dress up or down. It is the heart that counts with God.l

ONCE YOU ARRIVE
Their are a number of parking spots on site. If you have children we are a long way from the road and after church there is a great outdoor park environment to play in for them.

WALKING IN THE DOOR
We will have a number of welcomers who will try and make you feel at home without being too pushy.
Most of the order of service is through a multimedia screen so we try not to clutter you with more than a church bulletin to keep you up to date with what is happening and a friendly smile.

WORSHIP TIME
We meet in the school hall and the services tend to go for 1 hour and 15 minutes. They include life transforming talks based solidly on the Bible. Music that is noted for its meaning as much as its melody and a time of  prayer.

AFTER WORSHIP
Please stay for a cup of tea and a chat, (but we understand if you do not for a few times till you get used to the place)

TIME TO LEAVE
You can grab a church info pack, with info on all that is happening, We hope that you will be part of our community of faith and come and share our vision to serve a God who want to transform us

We are a community of faith ... with people who are at different places on their journey of faith. We come together to share in those journeys and to enrich each other's lives.
