1. •A church for people who don't like church. (We have sofas.)
   

2. •A place that feels like home where we can talk about and experience the love of Jesus Christ.
   

3. •A place where you can be yourself, with all your doubts, fears and messiness and people will accept you anyway.
   

4. •A bunch of Christians interested in deepening our faith journey through discovering and using our talents in the visual arts, music, technology and creative prayer.
   

We are part of a movement rather loosely termed Alternative Worship, but the name doesn't really say enough - we mean that our response to the Trinity (God in community) has to be born from our own experience together, as individuals and as a community, and not simply accepting whatever forms of worship are given to us. However, that is not to say we reject the past, rather that we see Christian traditions as a rich field of possible resource to draw on. But we also draw on contemporary culture in finding expression for our spirituality.

The writer Len Sweet describes this sort of worship as being EPIC, and that certainly suits us:

Experiential    We aim to be a place where people can experience God rather than just talk about Him.

Participative   You're not an audience, you're part of the worship and always get a chance to interact if you wish.

Image Based  We use all available media (and lots of pictures) to enhance our worship.

Connected     We don't wish to bury our heads in the sand. We want to connect with each other, God, and the hurting people around us. To support each other in a world where we can all feel a bit isolated sometimes.
