Child dedication is a significant commitment to fostering the spiritual well-being of our youngest members. It symbolizes parents' dedication to raising their child with Christian values, seeking support from the church community. This act reinforces the communal effort in guiding the child's moral and spiritual growth, fostering unity and shared responsibility.
The ceremony is a moment of prayerful commitment, invoking divine blessings upon the child and marking the start of a lifelong spiritual journey.

Water baptism holds profound spiritual significance, symbolizing a journey of faith and transformation. As individuals are immersed in the water, it represents a burial of the old self and the washing away of sins. The emergence from the water signifies a resurrection into a new life guided by faith and marked by spiritual renewal. This sacred act is a public declaration of one's commitment to a life of discipleship, signifying a profound inward change and an outward expression of devotion to a life in accordance with Christian principles.

Holy Communion, also known as the Lord's Supper, is a sacred Christian practice that holds deep spiritual significance. It involves the symbolic sharing of bread and wine - the body and blood of Jesus Christ. As participants partake in these elements, they commemorate Christ's sacrifice on the cross, expressing gratitude for redemption and acknowledging the unity of believers as part of the body of Christ. Holy Communion serves as a solemn remembrance, a source of spiritual nourishment, and a tangible expression of Christian fellowship.
Holy Communion is administered to the church during in-person services.

Christian marriage is a holy covenant rooted in faith and guided by Biblical principles. It reflects the love exemplified by Christ's relationship with the Church, emphasizing mutual respect, selflessness, and a shared commitment to honor God.

The role of pastoring and shepherding in a Christian context involves guiding, caring for, and nurturing the spiritual well-being of a congregation, akin to a shepherd tending to a flock, with a focus on providing pastoral care, spiritual leadership, and support in the journey of faith.

The anointing of oil is a sacred practice in Judaism and Christianity, where anointing oil is applied to a person's body as a symbol of God's blessing, healing, and ordination. This practice holds deep spiritual significance, signifying the individual's consecration and alignment with divine purpose, often accompanied by prayers for strength, healing, and the presence of the Holy Spirit.
If you wish to be anointed with oil, please come to the front of the auditorium on Sunday. There is a time for anointing after every service.

A Christian funeral is a solemn and sacred occasion where friends and family gather to commemorate the life of a departed loved one. The service typically includes prayers, scripture readings, hymns, and a eulogy that reflects on the deceased's faith and contributions. Central to the Christian funeral is the hope and assurance of an afterlife, offering comfort to mourners through the promise of eternal life in the presence of God. The ceremony emphasizes themes of resurrection, redemption, and the enduring power of God's love in the face of loss.
If you are looking for a pastor to conduct a funeral service, please speak to one of our pastoral team on Sunday or reach out via your community connection.
