Overview

Jesus taught in many different way - public ministry, life example, small groups, one-to-one, and even while travelling from place to place.

We believe that learning from God's word must follow this pattern - not dependant only on a particular form of teaching, but from many different opportunities. Whilst we give particular emphasis to the preaching of God's word in various meetings, we do not devalue other forms of Bible-Study. Above all, where there are particular individual needs we encourage folk to engage more in appropriate places where teaching will be appropriate for the individual circumstances and need.

Sunday teaching

Our primary purpose in coming together on Sunday is to worship God and exalt Him. We do this through our words - our praise and prayers, and through our lives - putting ourselves under the teaching of God's word. We can only do either through the work of God's Spirit, and so we look to God to work among us each time we meet.

Our teaching is what is termed "expository" - we read from the Bible and seek to learn from that passage and apply it within our lives. We predominately work through books of the Bible from chapter to chapter or verse to verse, with occasional topical sermons and visiting preachers.
