9.15AM & 11.30AM SERVICE TEAMS
The Kids Team
We have the privilege of having over 150 children aged 0-11 in our family! Our children’s team isn’t about just telling our little ones about God, but helping them form their own personal relationship with him.

You will help serve them breakfast at our morning services, do craft with them, worship with them and have the privilege of helping them come to know and love Jesus.

Younger Youth Team
We are passionate about helping young people aged 11-14 grow into who God has called them to be, becoming world changers in our town and beyond. Our main gatherings for the younger youth are during both morning services, offering a safe and fun space where they can engage with Jesus through playing games, looking at the Bible, discussing topics in small groups, and praying together. Being part of the team means encouraging the young people in their faith and creating an environment where they can build relationships with God, each other, and the team. Our hope is for the team to reflect the diversity of our church, so if you want to help young people get to know Jesus, we’d love to chat.
When: Sundays, during both morning services.
Welcome Team

This team is all about chatting to people as they come into the church, especially those who seem new or are on their own, showing people where to get a coffee, helping them find a seat, and perhaps introducing them to one or two other people.
