Sundays
Join us as we worship God together, you would be very welcome.
We hold two Sunday morning services which have a blend of Bible teaching, prayer and contemporary worship. We need two services because our church building is not large enough to accommodate everyone in a single service. Our children’s groups run during the second service. The services have the same informal style and, except for the monthly Family Communion, have the same talk.
The 9am service is Holy Communion and lasts a little over an hour. It is also live streamed on our YouTube channel. After the service our prayer team is available to pray with anyone who would like it.
Between the services, refreshments are available and this is a great chance for people to meet and chat.
At the 10.45 service the children and young people join in for the first part and then go to their own groups. The last Sunday of the month is different - with a Cafe Church running where everyone is welcome.
We also meet to pray at 6pm on alternate Sundays. The main aim is to underpin the church ministry with prayer, and these are times of listening to God as much as putting our requests to Him.
