Worship Style
Our worship style could be best described as contemporary. We do value the songs and hymns of the past, as well as embracing the “new songs’ God is bringing into Christian worship. We strive for maximum participation of our congregation in the service. On any given Sunday you will see people from the congregation involved in welcoming, morning tea, singing, musical accompaniment, Bible reading, testimonies, communion, sound and projection, children’s ministry, youth Bible study, to name but a few of the ways people can be involved.
