Guest Information
When you arrive a door greeter will be on hand to greet you. We are not going to call you up to the front or ask you to stand so do not fear. Over this period, as part of our health and safety protocol, we are registering all attendees at every service.
What about our kids?
Infants
There is a quiet room for mothers with babies. The room has a video feed, a changing mat, and a toy box. Follow the signage from the main entrance or ask a door greeter. Many of our mothers sit in the service with their babies unless they become niggly. Designated chairs at the back of the church are for families with young children.
Children
We run a Sunday school program for toddlers – 12-year-olds during the 10:30-11:45 am service. You can follow the signage from the main entrance or ask a door greeter and child in as a safety precaution. Read our child protection policy here. [Sunday school is currently closed.]
