Prayers
We pray together every week — for our children, our families, our city, and whatever you bring through the door.
A Place To Belong
There Is Room Here For Your Family
Two Sunday services, age-based classrooms, and a team that will know your child by name before you leave the building.
Our Next Gathering
A Word From Our Director
Welcome to Mamreh
Every Sunday we get to do the thing we love most — meet a child at the door, learn their name, and help them discover that God knows it too. Whether your family has been here for years or you are still deciding whether to visit, you are welcome exactly as you are.
We keep three promises: your child will be safe, your child will be known, and your child will hear the good news in a way they can actually understand. Everything else we do is built on those three.
— Kurt Bates, Children’s Ministry Director
Our Vision
A Church Where Every Generation Grows In Christ
We are one family across every age — children, students, parents and grandparents — learning to follow Jesus together rather than in separate rooms.
That shapes everything: teaching anyone can follow, worship worth showing up for, and a community where nobody carries a hard season on their own. Whatever brought you here, there is a place for you in it.
Ministry Focus
Our Four Pillars of Growth
Everything we do helps children feel God’s love and understand His Word in a way that is fun, relatable, and deeply impactful.
Worship
Worship is a lifestyle. Our kids’ worship is energetic, interactive, and focused on giving glory to God through music, movement, and heartfelt expression.
Teaching
Biblical truth is our foundation. Teachers make the Bible come alive through creative storytelling, visual aids, and age-appropriate discussion.
Safety
Your child’s safety is our top priority: strict check-in/check-out, background-checked volunteers, and age-specific environments.
Community
We are a family. Kids build lasting friendships and learn the value of serving others, just as Jesus did.
What We Do For The Community
Services Offered
Teaching & Bible Study
Age-appropriate teaching that walks children through the whole story of Scripture, one week at a time.
Marriage Counselling
Confidential, unhurried support for couples — before the wedding, and through every season after it.
Community Helps
Meals, school supplies, and practical help for families in our neighbourhood who are carrying a heavy load.
Solidarity
Standing with families through illness, loss, and hard weeks — nobody in this church walks it alone.
Sunday School
Small, age-based classes where every child is known by name and learns at their own pace.
Baptism
A clear next step for anyone ready to follow Jesus publicly, with preparation for children and parents alike.
Holy Communion
We share the table on the first Sunday of every month, with a simple explanation for our youngest guests.
How Sunday Works
The Systems Behind A Calm Morning
Six things we do every week so you can hand your child over and actually worship.
Our Special And Weekly Activities
Church Programs
Every week, and the ones that come around monthly. Pick a day to see what runs, when it starts, and where to find it.
Sunday Services
Two identical services so your family can pick the morning that fits. Kids move to age-based classrooms after the welcome, and nursery runs through both.
- Kids Worship — First Service
- Kids Worship — Second Service
- Nursery · Ages 0–2
Holy Communion
Once a month we share communion as one family, with a short, plain explanation written for our youngest guests so nobody is left guessing.
- Family Communion Sunday
Midweek Bible Club
A midweek hour of story, questions and craft. Smaller groups than Sunday, which means more room for the questions children actually want to ask.
- Midweek Bible Club
- Intercession
Youth Night
Games, food and a short talk for our oldest kids and youth. It is loud, it is fun, and it is where a lot of our friendships start.
- Youth Night
Volunteer Training
Everything a new volunteer needs before their first Sunday — safeguarding, the curriculum, and the check-in system. No experience assumed.
- Volunteer Training
Parents & Carers Meetup
Coffee and an unhurried hour for parents and carers. Bring the questions you have not had time to ask on a Sunday morning.
- Parent & Carer Meetup
Latest Sermon
The Good Shepherd and the Lost Sheep
The Kingdom Series · Part 4 · Kurt Bates · Oct 25, 2026
A shepherd leaves the ninety-nine to find the one — a picture of how God knows each child by name and never stops searching. Watch, then talk about it together at home.
A Verse For Today
One verse, slowed down — with a short explanation and a simple thing to do. New every morning.
Onboarding
Joining Our Family Is Simple
We want your first visit to be smooth. From pre-registering your kids to our warm Sunday welcome, here’s what to expect.
-
Plan Your Visit
Pre-register your children online to save time at check-in.
-
Secure Check-In
Friendly team, printed name tags, and a guided walk to the right room.
-
Secure Pickup
Matching parent tags for a safe checkout — and resources for home.
From the first visit, our children felt welcomed and safe.
“They still talk all week about what they learned on Sunday. The leaders remember their names, and that has meant more to them than anything else. My youngest used to hide behind my leg at the door; now she waves me off. What surprised me most is that the lesson comes home with them — we end up talking about it over dinner on Tuesday without anyone planning to.”
Alicia Morgan
Parent of preschool and elementary kids
The check-in process is smooth and the teachers are genuinely kind.
“Our son has grown so much in confidence and in faith. We never worry about where he is or whether someone is looking out for him. He came in barely speaking to adults he did not know. Last month he volunteered to read aloud in front of his whole class. The teachers noticed the change before we did, and they told us about it — that is the part we did not expect.”
Marcus Lee
First-time visiting parent
We were nervous about leaving our son with anyone.
“The check-in, the tags, the fact that someone came to find us when he was unsettled — it all added up to trust. Now he runs ahead of us to his room. We had tried two other churches and left both at the halfway point. Here the system does what it says it does, every single week, and that consistency is what let us finally relax and actually listen to the service.”
David Whitfield
Dad of two under five
This ministry doesn’t feel like childcare.
“It feels like a team genuinely invested in helping our children know and follow Jesus. That difference shows up in everything they do. The questions they ask the kids are real questions, not prompts with one right answer. Our two come out thinking rather than just entertained, and they bring those questions home for us to wrestle with together.”
Naomi Patel
Mother of two
Our daughter asks to come back every week.
“That is not something we ever expected to say about a Sunday morning. She has friends here, and she talks about what she learned all the way home. She names them all — the leaders and the other children — and she keeps a running count of how many Sundays until the next family night. Getting her out of the door on a Sunday used to be the hardest half hour of our week.”
Grace Okafor
Parent of a 6-year-old
I came for my kids and ended up finding my own people.
“The parents’ meetup on a Saturday turned into real friendships. I did not realise how much I needed that until I had it. I came for my children and stayed for the people who now text me on a bad Wednesday. A year later I am the one setting the chairs out and watching for whoever walks in on their own.”
