What do you know with absolute certainty?
This Sunday, we continue our sermon series titled "What Do You Know?" inspired by a Naval Chaplain's unique approach to starting meaningful conversations. Instead of asking the usual "How are you?" and getting the predictable "I'm fine," he simply asks people "What do you know?"
This week, we are turning to the Apostle Paul and asking him “What Do You Know?” Finding out what gave Paul confidence in God’s Word.
Join us this Sunday at 11:00am
Whether you're going through challenges or simply seeking deeper spiritual truth, this service will help you discover what you truly know about God and His faithfulness.
Why not bring a friend who might be searching for certainty in their own life.

The Truth Recovery Independent Panel, appointed by the Northern Ireland Executive Office, is carrying out an independent investigation into Mother and Baby Institutions, Magdalene Laundries and Workhouses in Northern Ireland from 1922 - 1995, and their related pathways and practices, including the adoption and care systems.
The Independent Panel is particularly keen to understand more about Hopedene Hostel, Thorndale House, Malone Place and Kennedy House.
