Celebrate Christmas at IMC
Join us on Sunday 14th December for cafe-style worship at 10.30am to find out

What to Expect in Our All-Age Cafe-Style Service
These cafe-style worship services weave scripture, drama, reflection, conversation, and media together. Our cafe-style worship services encourage worship around tables.
Cafe Style
The cafe element stems from the seating change: replacing the regular rows with tables, usually with biscuits. There are usually a variety of activities for all ages to participate in, from table prayers to colouring activities, word searches, and other creative options. Because of this, refreshments are served during the service.
This helps people feel more at home in church. If you haven’t attended church before, this service is for you!
These services usually last between 45 minutes.
