Services will generally start right on 10am, so we’d encourage you to get there 10-15mins early to find a park, meet our greeting team and find a seat.  If you have young children, we’d encourage you to check them into our friendly and fun kids programmes – our greeting team can assist you with this.  At the beginning of the service, we’ll usually have 20-30mins of contemporary worship (singing Christian songs together), followed by prayer points, and then announcements, celebrations and other notices.  Although we will sometimes mention the opportunity to give financially, there is no pressure put on anyone to do so.  A relevant, applicable teaching from the Bible will follow – this is usually for about 30mins.  We will sometimes conclude with the opportunity for people to respond to the message by coming forward to the front for prayer if they wish.  At the conclusion of the meeting, tea and coffee will be served.  At our Pakuranga church, you’re invited to meet one of our Connectors at the Welcome Table who will organise you with a free coffee or hot drink and can answer any questions you might have about the church.
