Church Practices

​

​

The basis of the brief notes on this page is found in Acts 2:41-42 describing the early church in Jerusalem

​

Evangelism

We "preach" the Word and like the early apostles share the message with others using many different approaches

​

Baptism

We baptise believers by immersion. This baptism symbolises a person's "death" to their old pre-Christian life and "rising" to a new life of service to Christ and others.

​

Teaching

We believe in lifelong learning of the Bible and the Christian faith.

We have weekly Bible studies, and on most Sunday evenings the sermon is of a teaching character.

​

Communion

We remember the Lord Jesus in a communion service, taking together the bread and wine of remembrance, at least weekly as the first service on a Sunday, and also occasionally at other times. All believers are welcome to share with us in remembering the Lord.

​

Prayer

We have a weekly time devoted to praying for one another, for the spread of the Gospel, for the persecuted church around the world, and other needs of which we're aware.

​

Fellowship

In addition to fellowship in worship, leaning and prayer we have informal fellowship times after most services and a monthly lunch.

​

Mutual Support

In the New Testament church people were generous in supporting their brothers and sisters in Christ. We seek to be a caring church.
