Services at COTS

Usual Sundays

9 am Service

Communion service with contemporary worship includes prayer ministry time during communion and at the end.

Intergenerational – In our 9 am Sunday Service, we intentionally welcome all ages. We believe we can learn from everyone and that it is essential to share in growing in faith with people of all ages. Everyone is important.

There are activities for smaller kids during the sermon, or they are welcome to stay with their families. Plus, we have spaces for doodling or quiet activities in the services for all creative people.

We are dedicated to developing lifelong faith formation for all our ages and stages. Refreshments follow.

Everyone is welcome at our biggest service of the day; you’ll find a friendly welcome and something for everyone. This service is live-streamed on Facebook.

Morning tea follows the service, so we hope you can stay, and we can get to know each other.

Wednesdays

10 am

This is a communion service with relevant teaching, hymns, an opportunity for prayer following the service, and then morning tea, with the best cakes in the Bay.

A Life Group follows the service, and you would be welcome to join it!

Livestreamed Services

If you are travelling or away for a week, we live-stream our Sunday 9 am and Wednesday 10 am service on Facebook and load it to Youtube. We love it when you join in on the comments if you are watching live or catching up later. Let us know you are there and we will welcome you.

Messy Church

Messy Church runs from 4 pm to 6 pm on most third Saturdays during the year. We have refreshments and games, followed by activities and crafts. We then meet together for some fun songs, short teaching time, and creative prayer. The highlight for some is sharing a meal to finish (meaning you don’t have to cook). It is for all the family, not just the kids.

Join us on these dates in 2025….

And Christmas Eve is Messy Christmas at 5.30 pm!
