Inclusion

Coming to church can be scary, especially if life is already hard…

We want to make coming to church as easy as possible, here’s what you can expect.

  • We know disability comes in many forms and is both seen and unseen - you’re amongst friends! At all of our sites you’ll find friendly faces who work in disability or have experience caring for or living with disability.

    All our sites feature some accessibly options such as large print bibles, but some sites cater differently to others regarding physical handicaps. Click here to see the difference between the sites.

  • Casual is fine - you don’t need to dress up! We’re way more interested in you than your clothes.

  • 10 or 15 minutes before the service starts is a good idea so you can get acquainted with your surroundings, get some information and ask a few questions if you’d like.

  • The literal word for church means people - so church is a gathering of people who love and follow Jesus, as well as people who are interested or want to hear more about him.

    Every service will feature music, a bible reading, prayer and a sermon from the bible.

    You can also expect to be invited for morning tea afterwards. This is where you can help yourself to some food and drink while meeting or catching up with new and old friends.

  • You’ll be greeted by some of our welcome team, who will be keen to say hello and answer any questions you might have. They will have some information about the church as well as outlines which will help in church.

    They will ask you for some contact details so we can ask you what you thought about church during the week, but we don’t require your contact information if you would prefer not to give it.

  • During each of our services a collection is taken, but we prefer visitors just let the bag pass by - you’re our guest!

  • Your children are welcome to join! During the school terms, most services have kids and youth programs running which are designed to better help your kids engage with Jesus. During the school holidays, we provide activity packs for the kids to engage with.

    Young children are very welcome in church! Parent’s rooms and changing facilities are available in most buildings.
