SHIFT

Doing church differently!

Song: Praise (feat. Brandon Lake, Chris Brown & Chandler Moore) | Elevation Worship

Who?

Shift is a project of the church, a way to make spirituality accessible to everyone. We value inclusivity and diversity. It is child-friendly and welcoming to people at every stage of faith (or none). At Shift you are among friends.

Where?

We meet at Burley in Wharfedale Methodist Church

What?

We meet for Breakfast and a talk on a relevant topic. After the talk you can choose whether to grab a cuppa or join in as the band plays Christian worship songs. Music and drama are an important part of Shift. They allow us to express ourselves and connect with the friends who join us.

When?

On the first and third Sunday of every month. Breakfast from 9:00am

Service from 9:20am
