Worship & Encounter Night

On Sun 5th Jan, 7:30pm: Kicking off 2025 with a time to draw close to The Lord together and turn our attention and affection towards Him. Join us at The Runway.

New Sunday Series

We love stories—they captivate and inspire us, transporting us to new worlds. But stories aren’t just found in books or movies—we live in them. They shape how we see success, love, happiness, and identity. Today’s loudest stories make US the heroes: who define identity, rewrite morality, and decide what truth is. But how is that story going? Is it everything we hoped for? The Christian story offers something better—a narrative with God at the centre, where life has meaning, hope, and purpose. Join us in January as we explore God’s Better Story.
