New environments can be intimidating. Let us know you're coming so we can answer your questions, pre-register your children, and meet you when you arrive. We want your first visit to be a comfortable one!

Trying to find a new church home? We get it - one visit isn't always enough. That's why we're inviting you to take the Stick Six Challenge: commit to attending six Sundays in a row and see what God might do. By the end of six weeks, you'll know if Jesus is calling you to be part of our church family - or we'll gladly help you find another church to call home.

We believe in all-age church. Kids play a big part in all of our Sunday Gatherings and we have a dedicated fun space where children of all ages can play, sing, craft, and learn about Jesus with their families.

Wednesdays, 12:00PM-1:00PM

If you enjoy good conversation, Bible Lunch is for you! Join others to explore what the world’s most-read book has to say today. Bring your packed lunch - we’ll provide hot drinks and home baking.

Our next series runs from 4 March to 1 April. This season we will be using The Lectio Course, a five-part series led by Pete Greig from 24-7 Prayer. Each session includes a 15-minute video, which we’ll watch together, followed by discussion using the course guides. Every episode features Pete Greig and a special guest, offering fresh insights into incorporating lectio divina into our life of prayer.

Lectio divina is an ancient spiritual practice that offers a prayerful way of reading the Bible, allowing God to speak to us through Scripture in powerful ways.

Watch the teaser video below to find out more.

Our Children and Youth programmes are open to all under the age of 18. We love creating a safe, welcoming space where kids can have fun, build friendships, and explore faith together.

We run monthly socials — always focused around fun and food! — and we  head off to The Salvation Army on the mainland for weekends packed with laughter, learning and community.

Our CY work is growing, so watch this space… exciting things are ahead!

Mondays, 18:00PM-19:00PM

Love playing brass? Come along to our open band practices and be part of a friendly, supportive community. Whatever your level, you'll find a place to connect, grow and share in the joy of music making together.

We believe every child deserves to have a happy Christmas. That's why we collect new, unwrapped gifts for children across the Western Isles who might otherwise have little or nothing to open on Christmas morning.

Our 2026 appeal will launch in November. Before then, you can read about how our community backed our Christmas Appeal 2025 and positively impacted local families.
