Teams
We believe the church functions best when everyone plays their part
Our teams provide an opportunity for everyone to use their gifts to make Sunday gatherings a place where people encounter God and find community. You can be a part of making that happen!
Our hope is that when you join one of our teams you will feel connected into the life and vision of the church, as well as feeling enriched and encouraged in your own faith. It is also a great way to get to know people.
There are many ways to serve in all areas of church life. We have highlighted some of the key ones below, but please complete the form to let us know if there are other areas that you are interested in helping with.
10am Gathering
We are always looking for people to serve at our 10am worship gathering. We meet to pray for Sunday worship at 9.15am in the Church Hall and everyone is welcome to join us.

We want to make people feel at ease and welcomed into the church family. The team is there to welcome people as they arrive, particularly looking out for newcomers; helping them feel at home and introducing them to other people. You will also be on the lookout for anyone who is by themselves or looking lost during or after the service. One of the team will also give out hymn books and service sheets.

Offering hospitality after the service: tea, coffee, etc. - setting up before worship, serving, and then clearing up afterwards.

Do you enjoy reading from the Bible or leading others in prayer? Members of the church family lead our intercessions and are on the prayer team praying for others during communion.

We are building a team who enjoy working with children and young people, as we help them grow as followers of Jesus.
