Sundays

What to expect on a Sunday

We have guests joining with us each week so if you come and visit you won’t be the only one. You can come as you are, there’s no dress code, or even “belief code” for coming along to one of our services. Everyone is welcome to join us. We meet at 11am on Sunday morning and there is a Sunday School for children under 11. We meet again on Sunday evenings at 6pm for a more informal service with corporate prayer, time for testimonies and questions.

Like every Christian church our services are made up of singing, praying, reading the Bible and listening to the Bible being preached. Afterwards there are refreshments and once a month we have lunch together.

Midweek

During the week there are various activities for children and young people, and the rest of us as well. See the details below and if you’d like to know more then do get in touch.

Wednesday Evening Prayer Meeting

As a church we are absolutely convinced of the importance of praying together. That means our Wednesday evening prayer meeting is one of the most important meetings in the week. We start at 7.30pm in the church hall and meet for about an hour. Everyone is welcome to come along, whatever age, stage or however long you’ve been in the church. If you’re unable to make the prayer meeting in person we also run a Zoom prayer meeting at 6.30pm, for members who can’t get out, please get in touch for information on how to join that meeting if you’d like to.

Time4Tots

Time4Tots is our midweek toddler and carer group. It runs on Friday mornings in term time from 9.30am until 11:15am. There is no charge for the group and it’s a great place to meet other carer and parents while little ones play in a safe and friendly space.

Coffee Morning

Are you around during the day and want a space to drop in, drink coffee and catch up with friends. Coffee morning is just that. Run on a Thursday morning from 10:30am-12noon in term time at the church hall.

Kilburn 121 – for young people aged 12-16 years

The club helps young people think about what God says about this crazy world they’re growing up in, while having fun, playing games and making friends.
