1. Can I take my coffee into Church?
   
No! You can not bring your coffee into Church! We have a nice new auditorium with carpets and new chairs so we don't want any coffee stains or cookie crumbs down the back of the char, thank you very much!. BUT if you are a first time visitor, we will give you a free latte, flat white, or whatever, after Church!! We have some great baristas in our Church, and we would love to chat with you after the service!!


2. I haven't been to Church for a long time; will it be boring?
   
Maybe... maybe not! Our Church is not really about putting on 'a good show'... but we do try our best to do things well...our Church is more about seeking and knowing God. And this is not an easy task, and doesn't happen just like 'that'. But God says in the Bible, "you will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart!"


3. I think I am an atheist, am I welcome at your Church?
   
You are very welcome. We are all on a journey seeking truth, and seeking God. Not everyone who comes to our Church is a Christian. We have all sorts!! Atheists; welcome!


4. How long will church be?
   
Yes this is a tricky one! We try and keep it to 75-80 minutes, but sometimes it goes a bit over. But don't worry too much, we have really comfy chairs and a great air-conditioning system. And usually Church is quite interesting and meaningful!!


5. Will you ask me to give my money to the Church?
   
No! We do take up an offering every week, but new people are not asked to give. Anyway, we don't give to the "Church". We give to God! You may think that is just being clever with words... No, no, no! There is a big difference. The Bible talks a lot about returning to God a portion of what he has blessed us with. For a Christian this is reasonable, it is an expression of gratitude. But don't worry we wont put any pressure on you to do anything you don't want to do!!(As Jesus said; "You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free!")


6. Do you have any programmes for my Children?
   
Good question! A lot!! We have lots of great volunteers who run programmes and groups for children and teenagers!! Check it out on the website!!


7. What does your church believe?
   
Our Belief. We are a contemporary, non-denominational, Church. We hold to the historic beliefs of Biblical Christianity. A summary of our beliefs are;There is one God, who is three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. God in revealing himself inspired the Holy Scriptures so that they are entirely trustworthy and have supreme authority in matters of doctrine, faith and conduct. We all were made for fellowship with God, but disobeyed him. So we all have become sinners, guilty in God's sight, and alienated from him. Jesus Christ, God's own son, became truly human. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. Jesus Christ took on himself the sin of the world when he died on the cross as our representative and substitute. God thereby showed his love for us and provided the only way for us to be forgiven and reconciled to Him. Jesus of Nazareth was raised by God from the dead. The Holy Spirit brings us to trust Christ and repent of our sins, lives in us, and develops our new life in Christ in the fellowship of the Church. Jesus Christ, the living Lord, will return in person as Judge and King.
