- Leaders refresh their training every two years.
- Parents are welcome to sit in on FIT Kids, and parents and carers handle all toilet trips and nappy changes.

Why a home church?
Coming to a home church for the first time might feel a little daunting. We understand. Meeting in a home keeps things relaxed and personal, and nobody gets lost in a crowd.
At FIT Church, we believe life is better together. We share a meal, pray for each other and grow as a family. Whoever you are, there’s a seat at the table for you. Read our vision.
Who we are and what we believe
We believe that everyone has value and a purpose in God’s kingdom. Our goal is to reach as many people as we can with the good news of salvation and see lives changed by the power of the Holy Spirit.
FIT Church is non-denominational and centred on Jesus. We’re a Pentecostal church, and you can read what we believe in full.
