  • Yes! The 9am Christmas Day All Ages Family Service is an encore of the 5pm Christmas Eve All Ages Family Service. And the 10:30am Christmas Day Carols Service is an encore of the 8pm Christmas Eve Carols Service.

  • We won’t be running a kids program at our 8pm Christmas Eve Carols Service and our 10:30am Christmas Day Carol Service. Our all-ages family services are perfect for kids and families—we’d love to welcome your family there!

  • It’s Newcastle! Dress like you would at the shops. Talk like you would at home. We really want you to forget about what other people think and simply engage with God’s word in the Bible.

    But we typically sing some carols about Jesus, read a part of the Bible, and hear a short talk on the meaning of Christmas.

  • During our meetings, we take the opportunity to celebrate how God has been merciful to us by standing and singing together.

    You don’t have to sing if you don’t want to. You’re very welcome to just sit or stand and listen to the words.

  • Our meetings usually go for about an hour. At the end of the meeting we’ll enjoy some Christmas treats, tea and coffee.
