Though there are only 12,000 people in this picturesque fishing town no less than a thousand people pass through the doors every week via the church services, luncheon club, and children's ministry that is lead by David and Elizabeth Ritchie and which attracts over 200 children per week.
The latest incursion into the community is a top-of -the-range gym that is open five days a week. There are no facilities to equal it for many miles around and it is just the latest expression of a church that has chosen to live without walls and embrace the environment in which it is situated. I arrived on the Saturday and visited the back-to-back events for children and young people before having a meal with the pastors. Sunday morning I was able to be with the main church and Sunday night saw the church packed for a baptismal service.
