Sundays are the heart of New Growth Centre! They are all about belonging, growing, and becoming who God created you to be.

Our service is a time for the whole family to connect with God and each other. You can expect:

Vibrant Worship: Music that helps you connect with God in a real way.
Biblical Teaching: Practical, relevant messages from the Bible.
Prayer and Connection: Moments designed to encourage you, discover your purpose, and grow in your walk with Jesus.
