About us

Church for us isn’t a building or a Sunday service – it’s a family on a mission.

“I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.”

Isaiah 42:6-7

(Rev) Steve Woodcock and Katrina Woodcock (Senior Pastors)
Steve is an experienced leader with over 20 years in ministry. He used to work as a full time head chef and chef/manager. The passion for cooking and creating never left him and he often blesses us with a delicious lunches or suppers. Steve also works in a secondary school setting as a mentor and also serves on the board of CIC International.

After a struggle with infertility, Katrina experienced a miraculous healing and they have been blessed with 5 wonderful children. This family is growing with the addition of grandchildren and an amazing son-in-law and daughter-in-law. She has a passion for all age ministry and is happy teaching any age group.

Sunday Gatherings

We meet in different places and spaces often utilising community venues or even the “Great Outdoors!”

Regular Sunday mornings will be a time of praise & worship and bible teaching for all ages. 

Sometimes we’ll have a worship evening or even help run an iSingPOP event, other times we have ‘Connect Sundays’ where we meet together for a walk or lunch or games on the common.
