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 and a creche for babies and pre-schoolers. 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.

Women’s Bible Study

Monthly on a Saturday morning (normally the second Saturday in the month) there is a Women’s Bible Study. Meeting for an hour and a half from 10.30am the Women’s Bible study is a great opportunity to learn together from God’s word and be encouraged by fellowship and friendship with other women in the church.

Youth Groups

Jen Stewart is our church youth worker and is responsible for organising these fun groups for our young people. All the groups are free of charge and visitors are always welcome! Feel free just to turn up or to contact Jen on 07740 595910
