Sunday Services
Our
Sunday services begin with a warm welcome and an invitation to join in celebrating the good news about Jesus. Our worship uses contemporary songs in simplicity as we seek to lift up His name together. We expect God to meet with us and speak to us. Most Sundays we break bread together and have Bible-based teaching and preaching. After the first two songs and
Limitless Kids slot, the children and
Limitless Blackpool youth go to their respective classes.
