Questions people ask<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Something else on your mind? Call us, or ask anyone with a welcome badge on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n
Do I have to believe anything to come?<\/summary>\n

No. Many people come with questions, doubts or no faith at all. You are welcome to listen, ask, or simply have a coffee.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

What happens on a Sunday?<\/summary>\n

We sing a few songs, someone gives a talk of about 25 minutes, and there are short times of prayer and quiet. The words are on the screen, so you can join in or just follow along.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

Can I bring my children?<\/summary>\n

Please do. At 11:00 there is kids church for ages 0 to 11, and children are welcome in the main room at any time. There is a changing table in the accessible toilet.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

Will I be asked for money?<\/summary>\n

No. Giving is for people who call this church home, and there is no collection passed along the rows.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

Is the building accessible?<\/summary>\n

The main entrance is step-free, there is an accessible toilet, and we have a hearing loop in the main room. Call us if you need anything else and we will help.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n

Who can I talk to?<\/summary>\n

Look for the welcome team at the door, or call the office during the week. If you would rather talk privately, one of the team can meet you for a coffee.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n
