Current sermon series | Christmas Is ...

Ask people what Christmas means, and you’ll get a different answer every time. Christmas is presents. Christmas is family. Christmas is decorating. Christmas is carols. Christmas is cricket....the list is endless. But what is Christmas really? Jesus may be the reason for the season, but what does His birth truly mean for us and for our world today? Join us as we strip away the busyness to rediscover what CHRISTMAS IS.

NEWS & EVENTS ...

New series begins 4 January

Have you found Jesus? It’s a question many Christians have asked others in their attempts at evangelism. It makes it sound like Jesus can be found easily if you would just look under the bed or behind the couch. But even Christians sometimes find it hard to see Jesus. Like a ‘Where’s Wally’ picture, Jesus is always there smiling and waving at us, but at times he can be hard to find. So join us as we explore how to see Jesus in the different seasons and challenges of life in this four part preaching series called, “Where is Jesus?” beginning Sunday 4 January 2026.
