Forum meets at 20:30 on Sunday nights and provides an opportunity to discuss subjects raised by the evening service. It's a forum to ask questions, to learn from each other and to apply the Bible's teaching to ourselves and the situations we face. It's held in the homes of different people in the congregation. Everyone is welcome. |

Preaching
The preaching is shared by the minister and the assistant
minister. There are regular monthly Guest Services
when the congregation invites friends to hear the Christian message explained.
Some of these take the form of the retelling of the Gospel accounts of those who actually met Jesus - see Sermons for some samples. |
