WHAT TO EXPECT
WHERE DO I PARK?
When it comes to parking, we’ve got you covered! We have plenty of parking available in our front and back carparks. Best of all, the parking is free! Should you require mobility parking, spaces can be found near the church entrance. Off-street parking is also available.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A CHURCH SERVICE?
Our Sunday services start at 10am and typically run for an hour and a half.
Our friendly door greeters will be your first point of contact. As you enter church you will be warmly welcomed and handed a newsletter. Our RoskillTalk newsletter highlights what’s going on in the life of the church and our wider family.
At 10am everyone will be welcomed to church before the band leads us in a couple of songs.
Soon after this the children will be invited to head out to their programmes. We have programmes for children aged 3-12. A creche is available in the foyer for children under 3 years old. We love having children with us, and know that means there will often be a bit of noise - we're a church family, not a library!
The rest of the service is a combination of prayer, opening the Bible together, a sermon, and reflecting on what we’ve heard.
Once the service is over, we'd love you to stick around for a hot drink, and a chat, and often a bite to eat. We love getting to know people and hearing their stories!
WHAT'S THE SINGING ALL ABOUT?
The Bible is filled with many accounts of people singing out to God in praise and worship. Regardless of the type of week we’ve had, singing together provides an opportunity to put it all aside and focus on Jesus, and remind one another of the wonderful truths of Scripture.
WHAT IS BAPTISM, AND THE LORD'S SUPPER ?
The Lord's Supper and Baptism are the two Sacaraments or "visible words" Jesus has given us as his church. Baptism for the Christian expresses our new hope, new family, and new life in Jesus. The Lord's Supper for the Christian is confirmation of our union with Christ, and nourishes us Spiritually.
We share in the Lord's supper on or around the first Sunday of every month, and we invite all followers of Jesus to join us in sharing this meal in remembrance of Jesus.
WHERE DO I SIT?
Anywhere you like!
WHAT DO I WEAR?
Whatever you are comfortable in! We do not have a formal dress code, however we do ask that you do not wear anything that could be seen as offensive.
WHO CAN I ASK FOR HELP?
Our church is filled with friendly people who are happy to point you in the right direction. Our staff are also around to answer questions and show you around. Photos of our staff are available in the foyer on the noticeboard.
WILL I NEED TO PAY MONEY TO COME?
No! The Good News of Jesus is free for all who are willing to accept and hear. There is a dedicated time in our service where our regular attendees have an opportunity to give towards the wider work we are committed to doing as church. When you are visiting please let the bag pass you by as there is no expectation for you to give.
ROSKILL KIDS
We believe that the Good News of Jesus is for all ages and stages!
Roskill Kids is our Sunday morning programme for children aged 3-12. Our aim is to help children discover who Jesus is, through teachings from the Word and meaningful discussions.
On Sunday morning we run 3 programmes:
Sparks | Pre-School Kids aged 3-4 years
Explosions | Primary School students
Ignite | Intermediate School students
During their programme our kids sing songs, listen to a teaching, and break into smaller groups where they chat about what they have just heard. They also play games and get creative with crafts and activities.
We do our best to create lessons that follow the Bible passages of the main service. This allows families to continue the conversation outside the church walls.
A creche is available in the foyer for parents with children under 3 years. Adults can watch and listen to the sermon, while the children are playing.
