WE ARE OPEN // WE ARE ONLINE // WE ARE CHURCH
Friendship Houses
There will be no plans for Sunday gatherings until at least September ’20.
Having done a Covid-19 risk assessment, our team report that our buildings are too small to hold services and maintain social distancing at the government required levels. And most of the schools, community centres and hotels are not available for hire for other locations.
Further, since the restrictions would require no singing, and no children’s church it wouldn’t be church as we know it. We will, therefore, wait a little longer before we get back together in that way.
HOWEVER – households can meet, (up to 8 persons indoors). So, FELLOWSHIP is possible.
So, for the month of August we would suggest that we start the following:
1. Growth groups can start physically meeting in homes where possible.
Bearing in mind that you will need to also have the meeting on zoom or Facebook since you can’t exceed 8 people present. You will also need to comply with current good health and safety practices. We will fully support you with materials and guidelines to make this possible.
2. Start making your house a friendship house/go to church online with others.
Either invite a family around to your house or you go to theirs for one of the Sunday services.
Enjoy food and fellowship at the same time whilst following guidelines (see here)
Such social events where a big key for our growth in the early part of our church journey.
3. Invite your unchurched friends to join with you in any of these relaxed and friendly opportunities.
We have been learning about soul purpose and discipleship in our Surge month. This is our primary objective and small groups are the best way to go.
We will continue to produce a quality church online experience for the weekend, with many other broadcast/input opportunities available during the week.
As we move into this next phase, let’s raise our faith once more to thrive and not just survive.
We Are Open
Our City and Southside building continue to remain open throughout the week 9-5pm, Mon-Fri.
If you need someone to pray with, a chat over a tea or coffee, then pop by – we’d love to see you there!
We Are Online
As we look to keep everyone safe we are moving all our Church services online every Sunday:
- 11AM Sunday
- 5PM Sunday
- 7PM Sunday
- 9PM Sunday
Join us with your family and friends around your laptop, phone or tablet for a full-on meeting with worship and faith filling word, and share where you’re joining us from by posting with #DestinyOnline.
If you have any difficulty accessing Church Online please do not hesitate to get in touch, we will find a suitable solution for you.
Small Groups, According to the Pattern and FIVE
Our smaller gatherings will now be accessible through a Zoom video call. Please contact your growth group leader for more information.
If you are not yet connected to a growth group get in touch.

Volunteer
We need volunteers like never before to take a big personal risk and be willing to serve on the FRONTLINE.
- We need volunteers to go out and visit people and pray for people. We need volunteers to deliver food, medicines and care.
- We need volunteers to be willing to meet, greet and minister to people who feel the need to meet real people and who will want to turn up each day at our buildings.
Jesus touched the leper’s without fear, He ministered to the needy at every turn. Our buildings will be open every day with pastoral staff for those who wish to physically come for help.
We won’t be needing some of our Sunday service ministry teams for a while, but we do still need many volunteers to be on both the FRONTLINE and with our media team as we now reach even further into the world.
If you want to be a FRONTLINE volunteer please connect below:
Support
We also need food and supplies like never before, and we will be using our legacy missionary fund to provide assistance to those in need, that fund needs funds.
Government Guidance
To slow the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) the general public is being asked to stay at home as much as possible and avoid unnecessary social contact.
