What happens during a Church Service?

Our Church Service starts with uplifting music, followed by readings from the bible, and a Sermon delivered by our Priest. We then pray together, then we have communion, which everyone is invited to participate in). If you are seeking individual counsel, dedicated prayer is offered at the front of the Church during this time. We conclude our Service with any announcements and celebrations that we have, and then another uplifting song.

How long does the service go for?

The Service itself goes for approximately one hour.

What is the music like?

The music is a mix of traditional Hymns and contemporary songs. This allows us to utilise our Church Organ and our band! We just so happen to have one of the largest instrumental Church bands on the sunshine coast, with drummers, guitar players, pianists and vocalists.

Do I have to know someone at the Church before I can come along?

We are a very welcoming Church community, so everyone and anyone is welcome to come to any of our services, regardless of if you know anyone in the congregation or not!

Will there be someone there that I can talk to?

Always! There is a welcomer at the door, before each service, to welcome you in and to answer any questions that you may have before you come in. Once inside, there are Church Wardens that you can speak to, and you are always welcome just to ‘pull up a pew’ and take a seat next to anyone in our congregation!

What is the Priest like?

Father Steve is larger than life! He is welcoming and accepting, and is always willing to listen and answer any questions. He is know for his subtle humour, and his well-spirited banter is really enjoyed by everyone!

What is the vibe of the Church?

The Church is very relaxed and welcoming. Both the Service and music at HTK take everyone into consideration, from the young, to the young at heart! This is done so that everyone feels welcome, and can enjoy worship together!

What is the age group of the congregation?

Or congregation is a mix of ages. We have everyone from babies to great grand-parents!

Will I have to give any money?

Giving money is not a requirement. If you feel as though you want to, there is a bowl passed around during service, but no one is in anyway obligated to give.

What do I wear?

This is a house of God, so everyone can come as they are to worship!

Can I bring my kids?

Absolutely! There is nothing that fills the heart more on a Sunday, than seeing the kids dancing in front of the band, or playing with our box of toys!

What activities are available for kids?

There is Kids Club which runs during the Service every Sunday. The kids do a little bit of bible reading (on the topic of the Sermon of the day), and then have a guided craft activity. Stickers, drawing, and FUN!
