New Here?
You are really welcome
Whether you’re completely new to church, returning after some time away, or just curious about what we believe, we’d love to welcome you to Emmanuel.
We know visiting a church for the first time can feel a little daunting. Our aim is to make you feel at home—whether you’re exploring faith, looking for a church family, or just visiting for the day.
Here’s what to expect if you decide to come along.
Sundays at Emmanuel
Start time and duration
Our Sunday service starts at 11am and lasts just over an hour and a half. We meet together to sing, pray, hear from the Bible, and encourage one another.
What happens during the service
At Emmanuel, we are passionate about God’s Word, the Bible. We believe this is how God speaks to us today, so in our services we read the Bible together and listen to someone preaching a sermon on a specific passage.
What to expect
You’ll find a relaxed atmosphere, a mix of ages, and a warm welcome at the door. There’s no dress code, and you won’t be put on the spot to introduce yourself or anything.
What about children and young people?
Sunday School
Sunday School for children from P1 and up, from 10am to 10.45am, before the main service.
During the 11am service:
A crèche for babies and toddlers
Children’s church for primary school aged children.
All our children’s and youth leaders are trained and follow safeguarding policies to ensure a safe and welcoming environment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to believe in God to come?
No, you’re very welcome to come along even if you’re unsure about what you believe. Many people visit with questions or curiosity, and you won’t be pressured or singled out.
Do I need to dress a certain way?
Not at all. There’s no dress code. Some people come in jeans, others in something smarter. Just wear whatever you feel comfortable in.
Will I be asked to say or do anything?
No, we want you to feel at ease. You’re welcome to join in with singing and prayers, but no one will ask you to speak or do anything you’re not comfortable with.
Is there a collection or offering?
No, we don’t take up a collection during the service. But if you would like to give, there is a donation box available at the back of the room. You can also choose to give online if that’s easier. There’s no pressure, giving is completely voluntary and mainly for those who consider Emmanuel their church home.
Where to find us
There is plenty of on-site parking, including designated accessible parking bays near the entrance. We also have a ramp for step-free access into the building. If you have any specific needs, please don’t hesitate to get in touch, we’d be glad to help
