Sermon Recordings
We record the sermons preached during our services both on tape and in mp3 format. The mp3 versions are usually available here for six months from the date of delivery (or from the end of a series, where appropriate). Older sermons are available on request from the church office. All sermons are by Peter Cousins unless otherwise stated.
Please note that there may be a short delay between the preaching and the publishing of each sermon. Also, be aware that these are large files (typically 10MB or larger) so may take a while to download, particularly if you are using a dialup connection.

Notes for Theology Students
Peter, the minister, often provides supplementary notes for theology students to accompany his sermon series. While these are principally intended for those studying theology at the university, anyone with an interest in theology is welcome to take a copy.
Notes for the current sermon series can usually be picked up from the church, but you can also download them, and notes from past series, here. They are in PDF format - if you don't already have a PDF reader you can download and install Adobe Reader for free.
