We believe in the importance of connecting with one another.
Church is not meant to be a holy club, but a place where people can come and feel welcomed. We are passionate about helping people connect with one another in a way that will encourage and uplift them in their daily lives.
If you are looking for a place to connect with others, please consider one of the regular groups we have running in our church.
We would love to have you join us!
Men’s Bible Study // Friday Nights
Our men’s bible study runs on Friday nights at 7pm throughout the school term. It is primarily aimed at men in their 30s to 50s. A number of the men drop their teens to Empire Youth, and then head up to the back hall for an evening of study and fellowship.

Prime Time // Over 60s
Prime Time meet on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month, and join together as both a bible study and a social group for our over-60s. The format is a short bible study, with God-focused discussion, but is also very socially focused with workshops, outings, and lunches together.

CORE // Evening service // ALL AGES
What began as a Young Adults evening service has grown into a community of all ages, joining together to enjoy good coffee, and to worship God and engage with one another.
We kick off at 4pm with hot drinks and snacks while we catch up and chat before getting into worship at 4:30. One of our CORE leaders will bring a message each week that is relevant to our walk with God, complimented by teachings from our interim Pastor, Tom.
Parents are so welcome to bring along their children - we are a very kid-friendly service and have a space set up for the kids as well as a great love for their interaction with us during the service.
