An inclusive community Church.
About our Church:
We are an independent Evangelical Community Church.
People can come and join in with worship, dancing, flag waving, and praising the Lord however they choose.
At His Place, we are building a vibrant, Multicultural, Multi-generational church that inspires all people to reach their God-given potential; empowering them to influence and impact our local community with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our Church is for those who are refugees, those who are marginalized; and the poor in spirit, a place they can find friendship, freedom, and hope. – His Place

Children can sit with their parents or join the children’s workers who share a story and craft activity, so that you can listen to the service whilst your child plays with the toys provided.
Children are welcome to take part in the breaking of bread if the parent/carer feels they understand what this symbolizes.
Older children and Teenagers are given an active role within the service – as assistant ushers, collection servers, and communion assistants.
