IMAGINE

being in a room with 20 - 40 people who represent at least 8 nationalities, sometimes more. This is what we call church.

imagine

being in the middle of the message when you are interrupted in mid-sentence to explain a word that someone, for whom English is their third language, did not understand - and being thrilled that they felt at ease to ask. This is what we call church.

imagine

that after the meeting, you don't go straight home but you stay and enjoy a cooked meal. You soon realise that if you come for more than a few weeks, you may even be asked to cook something. This is what we call church.

imagine

 if the weather is especially nice, going down to the beach for a coffee and a walk along the boardwalk together. This is what we call church.

imagine

a place where you often seem to be saying good bye to friends who move back to their countries of origin but at the same time have the frequent joy of meeting new people, who quickly become yet another person to join your family. This is what we call church.

imagine

using a spare bedroom space where one of our teenagers loves to teach younger children about Jesus, This is what we call church.

is our church
