Sunday Services

Services

Mornings: We meet every Sunday morning (starting at 11:00am). For most people this is their main service and currently between 80 - 100 of us meet each week. The service usually lasts between and hour and an hour and 15 minutes.

There is plenty of parking at the chapel and we aim to make sure that every week everyone gets a warm welcome, enjoys great worship, hears a positive, relevant message from God through the Bible and has a chance for prayer, a chat and support (with some great coffee!) afterwards.

While 'The Lighthouse' (our Sunday children's ministry) runs before the service we do run a creche during the service for all children up to the age of 6. For more information about what happens in the children's work please visit the Children's ministry page.

On the first Sunday morning of each month the service includes communion. This is a very special part of our church life and everyone who trusts Jesus as their personal Lord and Saviour and has been baptised by immersion in water as a believer is encouraged to share in the bread and wine.

Evenings: We also have a meeting most Sunday evenings - usually starting at 6:00pm. These take various formats - often it's some singing with a Bible talk , but other times it will focus on praise and worship, or Q & A, or prayer, or some aspect of world mission. Sometimes we just have an evening free to rest and enjoy the many good gifts God gives us. If you're planning to come along for an evening it's always best to check the church calendar page for what's happening on any given week!

We'd love you to come and join us! If you have any questions about our Sunday Services or need to get in touch with us about any other enquiry we will be happy to help. Please Contact Us for more information.

Planning your Visit

Hello!

If you're new to church don't worry, so were most of us at some point! If you're thinking about coming along on a Sunday here are some basic bits and pieces you might find helpful.

Dress code - we don't have one! Just come in what you're comfortable in - God's much more interested in what's going on inside you than what you look like outside!

Singing - yes, we sing songs of worship and songs to encourage each other. Some of the songs are traditional but many have a contemporary feel to them. Usually our music team of keyboards, guitar's, flutes and drums lead the singing. If you don't know the songs, or aren't really a 'singer' that's OK - you don't have to join in!

Children - we love children and they are always welcome. Sunday mornings start at 10:00am with 'The Lighthouse' especially for children. Check out the 'Children and Youth' page for more info. Children then come and join their parents during the main service - which we try to make it accessible for them, though for younger one's you may want to bring something to help them. For the very youngest (0-6) we run and supervised creche during the service.

Bible teaching - this is a key part of what we do on Sundays. Each week our minister explains a part of the Bible and helps us see how it applies to our lives the rest of the week. Our Bible teaching times are massively important to us because we believe that the Bible is God's word and the primary way he speaks to us - so we unashamedly make time to read and study it each week.

How long? The Sunday morning service is a maximum of 1hr 15 min (apart from when it includes communion - then it often lasts a bit longer).

Parking - we have a large car park at the chapel

Accessibility - our whole building is fully accessible, with a lift for those who need help to get to the first floor. We operate a loop system for hearing impaired.
