About COOL

Our gatherings are informal.
Our house church meets weekly for supper followed by a video or discussion . We have taken the Alpha Course together , discussed the Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren and Christianity Explored.
Larger celebrations follow a simplified liturgy (the ancient pattern of prayers and celebration of communion). We observe the rhythms of the church year which take us through the story of Jesus’ life and the experiences of his people, as described in scripture and the life of the early church.

Our faith is practical.
COOL members serve a variety of needs through Valley organizations: Sonshine Lunchclub, Crisis Pregnancy Centre, Habitat for Humanity, Transplant Society, Africa Community Technical Services, St Joseph’s Hospital, L’Arche, Order of St Luke, Youth Unlimited.

Our beliefs are simple:
We have no new or peculiar doctrines of our own. We promote only what C.S. Lewis called “mere Christianity”, the basic teaching that Christians have always believed, based on the Bible and the Creeds that are agreed upon by all major denominations.
Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, either as someone investigating faith for the first time, or a committed Christian, you are welcome to participate in this community.
