Sunday Services
We’d love to welcome you to church this Sunday
11am every Sunday. Anyone can come. You don't need to be a Christian. We listen to the Bible, hear a talk, pray, and sing about God. Join in with as much or as little as you’re comfortable with.
We’re a community of ordinary, imperfect people who think Jesus is brilliant and are trying to love each other like he does.
What to expect
What happens in the service?
At 11am someone welcomes everyone from the front. Every week we hear again the brilliant news about Jesus. We sing together, talk to God in prayer, listen to God as the Bible is read and preached, and hear stories from people of how Jesus has changed their lives.
Join in with as much or as little as you're comfortable with.
Can I bring my children?
Yes. We have loads of kids and young people in our church. They have fun, safe, and age-appropriate groups (including a supervised crèche) during part of the meeting.
What do I do when I arrive?
People tend to arrive from about 10:45am. As you walk into our building, you’ll be greeted by a member of the welcome team who will say hello and let you know you’re in the right place.
There’s usually time to grab a free coffee or some light refreshments before the service starts.
When the meeting starts, feel free to sit anywhere you feel comfortable. There is no assigned seating.
How long is the service?
The service lasts about an hour and a quarter, followed by time to chat over tea and coffee. We’d love for you to stick around and meet some people.
Does it matter what I wear?
No. There’s no dress code. Lots of us dress casually, some of us dress more smartly. Wear whatever you want.
Do I have to sing?
No. We sing to celebrate God and express our trust in him. There’s no pressure to join in. You’re welcome simply to listen to the music and the words.
Will there be easy parking?
We have a car park which gets pretty full close to 11am. You can also park at Tesco on Park Road - it is only a 2 minute walk.
What kind of church are you?
We are a Reformed Anglican church.
‘Reformed’ means we take the Bible seriously. We believe it’s how God’s speaks to us. ‘Anglican’ means we’re part of the global Anglican church.
Do I need to be a Christian?
No. Everyone is welcome. You don’t need to be a Christian or from a particular type of church. We have people with us each week who want to find out more about Jesus.
What are your beliefs as a church?
Our beliefs are mainstream, biblical, and Jesus-focused. We include people of many denominations, and everyone belongs, because we keep Jesus first.
What if I still have questions?
We’d love to hear from you. If you didn’t get your question answered, just press the button below to ping us an email.
Bible Talks
We teach from the Bible because nothing beats listening to Jesus. Jesus’ words refresh us and heal us and give us life. That’s why the Bible fills our life as a church.
Kids and Youth
Bring & Share Lunch
On the first Sunday of each month we have a bring and share lunch after the service. It is a particularly good way to get to know people.
