Sundays
We think Sunday is the best day of the week!
The 11 is our weekly gathering where we gather together and lift our eyes to encounter Jesus.
Whether you’ve been coming to church for years or you’re just exploring faith, you’re completely welcome here.
We believe Jesus changes everything, bringing freedom, purpose and joy to our lives - and Sundays is all about making space for that!
You can expect a relaxed atmosphere, engaging worship, kids and youth ministries and a message that connects real life with the hope we’ve found in Jesus. Doors open at 10:30am for pastries, coffee and the best welcome of the week!
