We are trying to explore a different way of doing church.
In the New Testament the disciples continued to meet in the temples (that’s like corporate worship – the whole community together) and started to meet in homes (that’s like intimate worship – really doing life together).
In our society life can be busy – in order to learn how to love God and love people together we also need to create space to do that.
We also want to keep an outward focus – to see the kingdom of God grow we must love people in our world, starting in our community.
So with all these things in mind, we meet on a 2 week cycle that looks like this:
Sunday Sessions
This is our corporate worship. Everyone comes together from 10.30am. The first hour is about raw worship, being led by the Holy Spirit, sharing life stories and learning together – that’s church inside. Then we go down to a park we have adopted and do church outside – it’s community, sharing lunch and although everyone is welcome we always invite a community group as our guest.
This happens on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Sunday of a month (as well as Easter & Christmas).

Lifespaces
Lifespaces help us do life well together.
We meet in homes on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month. We do this over a meal, have communion, learn together, pray, worship and support each other and then each group has a community project that is in close proximity to the home you are meeting in – wherever that is.
