The Dock is many things… It’s a cafe, a market, a garden, a home-from-home, a sanctuary, an ethos, a community… It is also (and has been since Day One) an expression of faith.
So a big part of the mix of Dock Life has always been space for spiritual life – whether through the prayer garden, Dock walks, chaplain teams, 24-7 prayer nights, slipway pilgrimages, and loads more
As always with the Dock, this stuff is there if you want it, but you won’t be attacked by a Bible-brandishing maniac if you don’t. The prayer garden is open-access, come-as-you-are space 
for you to spend time thinking, praying or reflecting and you’re free to use it any time the cafe is open.
However there might be some of you out there who would like to take a wee step further – to ask questions, pray together, chat, worship, and be part of a growing church community.
So we now have two regular events – Sunday nights (monthly) and Tuesday nights (weekly).
Sunday Nights at The Dock started way back in 2013 as our monthly service on board SS Nomadic – and then over a year ago 
progressed into meeting in Dock Cafe on the first Sunday of every month. There’s space to be still, be inspired and be thankful – we usually sing some well-known hymns and songs of praise, catch up with the news of Dock life, and hear from a range of speakers from within the Dock community (and a few special guests – we’ve had the last few Lord Mayors of Belfast as guest speakers!). And – being the Dock – there is of course plenty of coffee, chat and time to chill!
We next meet on Sunday 4th October at 6pm and this month we’ll be hearing from Dock Chaplain Brian – who you’ll see propping up the counter in Dock Cafe every Tuesday (while labouring under the illusion that the Tuesday team are the best).
Tuesday nights are a more recent addition to the picture – starting as a chance for a few people to gather together to pray for the Dock, the Titanic Quarter and the city – they are now open to all, at 7:30ish every week. If there’s something you’d like to ask, discuss, or pray for – just arrive, grab a cuppa, and chat to Walter, Molly and the fantastic team of people who are there every week.
