We exist to give people an opportunity to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We are a family. We build church by building relationships.

Children, Youth & Students
In Junior Church we help children to build personal relationships with Father God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit through understanding, exploring and applying the Bible in a relevant, child-friendly way.
Our classes are positive and faith-filled with facilities that are colourful and child-friendly. Our trained and DBS/CRB-checked volunteer team bring an attitude of joy and impart life to children at every age.
More details: Junior Church (JC).
Ignite Youth is a fun, friendly, and inspiring environment for young people to learn about Jesus in a safe and welcoming setting.
Every Friday night our young people take part in exciting worship, crazy games and get a powerful message from the Bible. It’s the perfect place to ignite your faith, connect with others and be part of something that’s bigger than us all.

The Pulse is more than just a place for students and young adults to come and have fun. It is a lifestyle that seeks genuine, long-lasting, meaningful relationships.
We encourage discussions that are challenging and eye-opening. We aim to make every experience life-changing for the better through the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are not here to simply exist, but we want to make a difference in our own lives, our families, communities, our city and ultimately the world.
