Welcome
Worship
Before service starts, there is a 10 min countdown on the main screen to let everyone know we will be starting service soon. You are welcome to sit anywhere.
When the countdown ends, our Worship Leader will welcome everyone and lead us into Praise and Worship. This part of the service is where we sing a few songs together. Lyrics are projected on the screen for you to join in.
We have put together a few playlists on Youtube and Spotify that include songs we sing during service. Add these songs to your personal playlist so you can get familiar with it. We describe “praise songs” as upbeat and “worship songs” have a slower tempo. This part of the service will usually take about 20 - 30 mins.
Word
Giving
Close
After worship together, our Lead Pastor generally asks everyone to greet each other. During this time we have a “Journey Hub” available in the Welcome Lounge for children in pre-school, primary and intermediate to do during the sermon. Before service, have a chat to any of our team by the Journey Hub about the resources available.
The Word of Encouragement (sermon) is then shared by our Lead Pastor or a preacher. We spend the next 40 - 50 mins on listening to an encouragement from the bible and learning how we can apply what we hear to our daily lives. We will begin with reading from the bible together. You can bring your bible with you or download the bible app on your device. There’s also a kids bible app available.
At the end of the encouragement, our Pastor or preacher may invites us to pray for each other or to take some time to participate in some personal reflection time/activity. This is a practical way we can begin to apply the message to our lives.
At the end of our Word of Encouragement, we take time to receive an offering we call our Overflow Collection. You're invited to join our church family and contribute. You’ll see a few people walk through the aisles with an offering bag. Whatever is in your heart to give, we would gladly receive.
This is an opportunity for everyone— family and friends alike—to respond to the generous love we believe, we have received from our Father in heaven. We believe the act of giving is a natural overflow of that love, which enables us to pour into others in their time of need.
2 Corinthians 9:7: "Each of you must decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. 'For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.'"
We also believe giving can happen in many ways beyond finances, including your time, skills, and spiritual gifts.
A consistent financial blessing helps our church family continue our mission of reaching and growing people like you through bible teaching and serving others in our community. You can give regularly through a direct deposit to our bank account. If you'd like to partner with us in this way, we'd love for you to join us! Read more.
At the end of every service, we pray together. Our Lead Pastor will either share some final words or some brief local notices for our church family. We encourage you to stick around to hear what we have coming up as this gives you some insight into the life of our church family.
