A Personal Welcome

You don't have to have it all together.

Wherever you're coming from — whether it's your first time in a church or you're simply looking for a new home — you are genuinely welcome here. No performance required.

At Alive Church, Sundays are relaxed, warm and full of life. You'll be greeted by real people who are glad you came, and you're free to simply sit, take it all in and see how you feel.

We saved you a seat.

No Surprises

Your questions, answered.

We know visiting somewhere new can feel a little nerve-wracking. Here's everything you need to know before you arrive.

What should I wear?

Come as you are — seriously. Casual and relaxed is the norm. Most people wear jeans, a polo or a casual top. There is absolutely no dress code and no one will be looking at what you're wearing. Just come comfortable.

Where do I park?

Street parking is available on Drummond Street South and the surrounding streets. We recommend arriving 10 minutes early on your first visit so you have time to park and find your way in without feeling rushed.

What actually happens during the service?

A typical Sunday runs for about 90 minutes and flows like this: we begin with praise and worship, then share a few updates on what's coming up at church, followed by a practical Bible-based message from our pastor, and close with time to connect over coffee. There's no pressure to do anything — you can simply sit, observe and take it all in. You won't be asked to stand up, introduce yourself or give money.

Do I need to bring anything?

Nothing at all. Just yourself. We'll have coffee and a warm welcome ready for you. If you'd like to follow along with the message, the Bible verses are displayed on screen throughout the service.
