What Is Christianity?

The message at the heart of Christianity is pretty simple. Find out what it's all about on this two-minute video. Turn your speakers on! At the bottom of the page there are details on how to ask any questions you may have.

Christianity is about Jesus. But who is Jesus?

Jesus once asked his followers this question:

"Who do you say I am?"

A prophet with a new teaching?
A healer to the sick?
A saviour to a lost world?

WIC.1

Jesus claimed each of these, but most importantly, he claimed to be God in the flesh.

At the dawn of time he ignited human history when he spoke. He breathed life into the lungs of the first man and woman - and every inch of creation itself.

WIC2

But we rebelled. We turned against our King and followed our own ways, even though it would cost us our life. Our sin poisoned his perfect creation, giving way to sickness, injustice, and death.

WIC3

Sin separated us from one another, and from God.

Why did Jesus come?

But rather than cast off humanity, God sent his Son Jesus to enter into the world he Created - the one broken by our sin. He breathed our air, became human like us.

WIC4

He lived a perfect life - the one God intended we live - and called us to repent of our sin and follow him in faith.

Some believed his word and recognised him as King. Others denied him. They crowned him with thorns and murdered him. They rejected him, and so have we.

But God had a plan. Jesus willingly gave himself up to die on a cross to save us from God's judgment and the death we deserve.

WIC5

On that cross, he exchanged our rebellion for his obedience. Our brokenness for his perfection.

The Son of God died so we could live.

And on the third day, he rose to life again, defeating death forever.

And now, he sits on the throne of heaven, offering life through the Holy Spirit to all those who repent and trust in him.

WIC6

What does it mean for us?

Jesus is the King of Kings.

You can either crown him or crucify him. There is no middle ground.

No one will ever ask you a more important question than the one Jesus asked:

Who do you say I am?

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

mitchell-leach-OoaoPYz-E3M-uns The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on Sundays. Both services are also Zoomed - if that's a more helpful way for you to engage, please contact us for the details.

Where and When

We meet at the Church Building (details here) for our Sunday Services starting at 10:45am and 6:00pm. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team who will offer you hymn books and a Bible.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop installed. Toilets, including a disabled toilet, are across in the church hall.

Our Morning Service

The service begins at 10:45am with a warm welcome from the person leading the service. We will then sing and pray and hear the Bible being read and then listen to a message preached from the Bible. After the sermon we usually share in what is known as the Lord's Supper or Communion - a sharing in bread and wine to remember the death of Jesus in our place (we use gluten-free bread and non-alcoholic wine). Once a month we close the service after the sermon with refreshments and an opportunity to stay and chat informally.

Our Evening Service

The service begins at 6pm is similar in format to the morning service. We share in the Lord's Supper on one evening each month.

What about my kids?

During term-time we run a Creche and a Sunday School for children up to Year 6 during the morning sermon time (these meet over in the Church Hall). For more information about what happens in the children's work please visit the Children's Ministry page.

Children stay with their parent or grown-up at the start of the service for the welcome, songs and notices. We really value worshipping God all together as a family. Children leave for Creche and Sunday School just before the sermon, generally during the third hymn. If you’re a visitor and you’d like to accompany your child to Sunday School, you’d be very welcome to do so. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes.

Getting Connected

While Sundays provide a wonderful opportunity to meet new people, it's often in smaller gatherings where deeper connections are formed. We host prayer meetings and small groups where we come together in homes to study the Bible and pray. Joining these groups offers a chance to forge new friendships, share experiences, and provide mutual support. Please feel free to reach out via the contact form below for more information. We'd be delighted to welcome you.
