Shutdown (As of April 27)
From Monday, April 19, churches are able to have 10 people for religious exercises (see here).
*As a few have asked, this is compatible with the stay-at-home-order and not in contravention of it.
We are going to seek to persevere in creative ways through this, both virtually and in person. We want to be a good witness, both of submission to authorities and care for neighbour, but ultimately in our corporate love and worship of God.
Morning Service: This will continue to be made available on the Livestream/Phone In at 10:00. We continue to trial holding three 1-hr services for 10 people per sitting at 8:30, 10:00 (Livestreamed) and 11:30 for those who’ve expressed a desire to gather physically. Those who want to attend will need to register: here (also find out more details by clicking).
Evening Service: Physical attendance at our hybrid ZOOM service will be capped at 10 and priority given to those without internet. To register click here. To join by ZOOM click here. To join by phone, see the details below.

Life Groups and Ladies Coffee Hour: These will continue to meet in the Lower Hall (or by Phone for Glenn’s Life group) and those wishing to join virtually will be able to do so through ZOOM. Speak with your group leaders for more details. *Note: Pastor’s group will temporarily meet on Thursday evenings instead of Wednesdays.
Whether physically or virtually, let’s not lose sight of what matters most. May we persevere in worship and in the work of the Gospel, pray for our community and commit one another to the Lord to keep us all safe.
