Christian friendship is a gift — people who know you, pray for you, tell you the truth, make you laugh, sit with you in the hard things, and keep pointing you back to Jesus.

Not just friendship built on shared interests, but on shared faith. Walking together, growing together, carrying one another, and reminding each other who we are in Christ.

Jesus be the name we build our lives upon.
The name above every name.
The name we carry into every season.
The name we trust when we can see the way ahead—and when we can’t.

Jesus at the centre. Jesus our hope. Jesus our song.

Communion is available at every service, every Sunday. 🍞🍷

We believe sharing the bread and w**e is a central act of remembrance, given to us by Jesus for our good. Every time we come to the table, we remember what He has done, confess our need for Him, and put our trust in Him again—for today, for tomorrow, for every part of our lives.

“Do this in remembrance of me.” — Luke 22:19

The voice of one crying in the wilderness:
“Prepare the way of the Lord;
Make straight in the desert
A highway for our God.
Every valley shall be exalted
And every mountain and hill brought low;
The crooked places shall be made straight
And the rough places smooth;
The glory of the Lord shall be revealed,
And all flesh shall see it together;
For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
Isiah 40 v 3-5

Epic Sunday! 🙌

Worshipping God, reflecting on the Word, sharing Communion, and celebrating our Jim’s birthday 👏👏👏

What a joy to belong to this rag-tag bunch of misfits who have found each other in Christ. ❤️

On Sunday we began our new series in the Gospel of John — and the opening verses alone call us to worship.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…”

Jesus: eternal, Creator, life and light. The One through whom all things were made. The light that shines in the darkness — and the darkness has not overcome it.

We’re so excited to keep exploring this incredible Gospel together, growing in our understanding of Jesus and seeking to know Him more.

John 1:1–5

If the stars were made to worship so will I
If the mountains bow in reverence so will I
If the oceans roar Your greatness so will I
For if everything exists to lift You high so will I
If the wind goes where You send it so will I
If the rocks cry out in silence so will I
If the sum of all our praises still falls shy
Then we’ll sing again a hundred billion times

The Church - its people! Not places! It’s the body of Jesus, the hands and feet, everyone, every soul has its place and purpose. There is beauty in our coming together. Why is it such a hard place for so many? Questions, doubts, the perception of judgment, hurt and strain. How is it possible that joy and pain can co-exist in one experience. A living organism - one part mourns, we all mourn. One part rejoices, we all rejoice. Not perfect, far from it, but still worth it, still going , still coming , after all these years. Hoping and trusting, on the other side of our pride is the prize of becoming like Christ. Not for our own greatness but for His name sake, after all, isn’t he the one that gave it all, so how could I give up on his people…

Beautiful and bruised
Holy and human

God is doing something beautiful in our community.

He is drawing people to Himself. Prodigals are returning. Faith is being stirred again. People are stepping out, taking risks, praying for one another and ministering in ways they never thought they would.

We are seeing restoration in recovery, forgiveness where there has been hurt, generosity expressed quietly and joyfully, and new relationships and friendships bringing fresh life.

People are finding courage to say yes to God again. To trust again. To serve again. To believe again.

Some of it is dramatic, much of it is happening quietly around tables, in conversations, in prayer, in homes and in ordinary acts of obedience.

We are so grateful for what God is doing among us — restoring, awakening, healing, calling and drawing people closer to Jesus.

And it feels like there is so much more to come.

“I believe; help my unbelief.” — Mark 9:24

What an honest prayer.

The man in this passage doesn’t wait until his faith is perfect before coming to Jesus. He brings the faith he has, alongside the doubt he still carries.

Sometimes faith isn’t certainty. Sometimes it’s simply choosing to bring our questions, fears and unbelief to Jesus and saying, “I still believe You. Help me where I struggle.”

Jesus is not intimidated by imperfect faith. He meets us in it.

Lord, we believe. Help our unbelief.
