When you come through the doors you will be greeted by our welcome team and then please make your way to any seats, there is no reserved or out of bounds spaces. If you don't know the songs, don't worry, the words will be displayed on screens and you can join in, if and when you like.
We love to have children around and expect them to make some noise, if you'd like to take them to a play area, there is a room at the back of church for 5 years and unders to play.
