Whether you’ve been to church all your life or can’t remember the last time you attended, we understand how intimidating it can be when you visit a new church. That is why you’ll find us with a warm smile; ready to put any nerves you have at ease.
To help you know what to expect on the day, we’ve included a little more about our Church Services and Sabbath School classes here for you.
We have two main church services on Sabbath (Saturday) mornings, one at 8am and one at 11am. This is the time where we unite together, learn more about God and gather strength from His Word.
The following is an example of what a typical weekly church service is like:
Whether you're visiting for the first time or you've been coming for years, it's our way of saying, "We're glad you're here!"
singing of contemporary Christian songs or hymns and praises to God
a moment where we come together to talk to God—thanking Him, seeking guidance, and lifting up our needs. It helps us connect with God and with each other.
for local running costs or mission projects
a short story to help teach our Children about an aspect of the Bible
This can be a musical item or a drama performance on an aspect or story in the Bible
a passage of the Bible is read that is relevant to the sermon
One of our local pastors or a guest speaker will share a message with us on God's Word
a closing song that brings the service to a meaningful end—celebrating God’s goodness and sending us out with hope and purpose.
the preacher closes the service with prayer
some weeks our church has a free lunch (yes, there is such a thing!) so you can meet new people and catch up with friends
Our Sabbath School classes start at 9.30am and are run as a small group Bible study. They are an opportunity to discuss the teachings of the Bible and socialise with each other.
Sabbath school classes are divided into the following general age groups:
ages 26+
ages 18-30
ages 12-17
ages 6-11
ages 3-5
parents w/ infants 0-2 yrs

Every three months, the Seventh-day Adventist church focuses on a certain region of the world and on how church members can help people in that region. The needs and stories of these people are told.
We collect an offering in Sabbath school to support the mission project.
At this point, everyone breaks into small groups to study the Bible. You can choose which group you want to attend. The duration of the lesson study is about 30-40 minutes. During this time, we study the Bible using the Sabbath School lesson as a guide. The Sabbath School lesson is a Bible-study guide produced every three months by the worldwide church's Sabbath School Department. People are encouraged to study the lesson throughout the week and, during Sabbath School, discuss what it is teaching and have the opportunity to share how it has made an impact on them.
As a Christian church, we are a faith community grounded in the teachings of the Bible. We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is our guide for living a fulfilling lifestyle.
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
