you’re as welcome as can be!
We do all we can to make your experience at our church as relaxed as possible. We’ll greet you at the door, show you where to go and if you have any questions at all, we are more than happy to answer you. During the service you are free to get involved as little or much as you like with no pressure. We don’t want you to feel embarrassed and you won’t be picked on! We work hard so that you have the best time you possibly can!
everyone is welcome.
You don’t have to be a religious person or already a Christian to come or to be interested in what goes on in church. The regular partners of our church are all Christians, but we love having visitors whether they are Christians or not. We want you to feel right at home.
you will not be put on the spot.
We won’t ask you to say anything in front of anyone or put you on the spot. We want you to enjoy your time with us and to have the chance to just take it all in.
you don’t have to give.
Every service there is an offering which goes towards the work of the church. This is really for the partners of our church who regularly come and choose to give, so you are not under any obligation to give anything. You may give if you would like, but you are very free to just pass the offering basket to the next person when it comes around. This is also communicated from the front of the church before the offering is taken.
you can wear what you like.
There is no dress code! Most people come in clothes they feel comfortable in, like jeans and a casual top, some people come in smart dress. It’s up to you!
welcome pack.
You will be more than welcome! We love having visitors and someone will be waiting to make sure you feel welcome as soon as you get to the door! You will be offered a welcome pack on your first visit which includes a welcome letter, and information about All Nations Church. And don’t forget to take your Belgian chocolate! It’s our delicious way of saying, “Welcome!”
extraordinary worship.
Normally we start by having a time of worship which is when we sing songs to God and people pray. Sometimes people read things from the bible to encourage others. You might see some people raising their hands as they sing which is a sign of devotion to God and is saying they would like to know God more, that they respect him and is a way of saying they are ready for God to use them. We have announcements about what is going on in the week and any extra things that need to be relayed to everyone. We also have someone to preach from the Bible. This is normally very easy to listen to and is about how to apply what God has to say to our lives in a practical way. We start our morning service at 10:30 and it normally lasts about an hour, but runs a little longer when we share Communion together on the first Sunday of the month. After the service people tend to hang around for awhile to talk or to check out the information table.
