What to Expect at Life Anglican
Every service is a little different, with it’s own tastes and styles but there are some things that are common across all services.
This church guide will let you know what to expect if you attend a church service with us.
Music
Our services start with singing lead by our music teams. Each service does that a little differently and some even in different languages.
We work hard at keeping our music engaging, spirit enriching and in genuine community.
Prayer
We are a church who values dependance on God for everything. We thank him and bring our requests to him.
Small elements of prayer are spread throughout our services including a time committed to bringing specific requests to God.
You will not be asked to pray out loud but we invite you to join by listening & reflecting as we lead people in prayer.
Teaching
We preach, teach and proclaim Jesus. We believe true and eternal LIFE only comes through him and want to connect people into Jesus and His Church.
We believe the best way to know Jesus is through his word the bible, so we read the bible and teach from it.
