A Warm Welcome
The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.
Where and When
We meet at Southern Court, Newport Industrial Estate, Launceston (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 10:30am. There is ample FREE car parking opposite in Jewson's car park. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team.
What3Words: forgiving.later.slows
We serve tea, coffee and biscuits from 10.15am, before the service begins and also afterwards. It is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.
Accessibility: There is full wheelchair access.
Our Service
You will receive a very warm welcome particularly from our Welcome Team who will be able to answer any questions and show you to where you need to go.
There will be a mix of singing, updates on things happening, people speaking about what God has been doing in their lives and an opportunity for church members to pray or read a passage from the Bible.
One of the leaders at the Church will bring a message based on the Bible and there will be a chance to respond at the end of the service.
Prayer is also available at the end of the service and we love that people stay to chat.
What about my kids?
We have a great programme for kids of all ages:
-
Creche (0 months to 4 years). Children under 6 months are welcome but must be accompanied by their parent/grown-up at all times.
-
Little Lighthouse (5 - 10 years)
-
Youth (11-14years)
-
Young people (15+ years) Stay in service.
Children stay with their parent or grown-up at the start of the service for the welcome, songs and notices. We really value worshipping God all together as a family. At the end of the notices someone will announce that it’s time for the younger members to go to their various groups.
The kids group activities vary depending on the age but usually there is a friendly welcome, bible stories, testimonies, praying, music, craft, drama, fun games and free play.
Getting Connected
Home Groups
While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some mornings and some evenings. Check out Small Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.
