A Warm Hello 

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect at our Sunday Services.

Where and When

We meet at the Church Building (details here) for our Sunday Services.  You can check service times on our calendar.  In July and August our service pattern may change so please check the calendar before planning a visit.

When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team.

Accessibility: The church does not have a car park, but we have the use of the Victoria Mills car park on Fowke Street for Services.  This is about 75 metres from the church building.
The church building does not have toilets.  Toilets are available in the Old School Rooms which are between the church building and the Victoria Mills car park.  This includes a toilet for people with a disability and baby changing facilities.
If you need to be dropped off nearer the church building, please contact us so that we can explain how you can do this.
The paths from the public footpaths to the church building are uneven.
There is a sound loop for anyone who needs it.  Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up.

11:00am Service

Someone from the church will welcome everyone.  There will be singing (you don't have to join in), readings from the Bible and prayers.  Someone will give a message from the Bible and that we can apply to our everyday life.  We also have news and notices mainly about the life of the church.

What about my kids?

We have a great programme lined up for children and young people:

• Creche (0 months to 3 years). Children must be accompanied by their parent/grown-up at all times.  You will be able to hear the service in the creche.
• Scramblers (3-5 years)
• Climbers (5-7 years)
• Explorers (8 - 11 years)
• GRID (11 - 14 years)
• Young people (15+ years) Stay in service.

We meet during the 11:00am service each Sunday (GRID 2nd and 4th Sundays). We spend a short time in church for the family focus and then for the rest of the service we are in the Old School Rooms.
On the fourth Sunday of each month, we will start together in the Old School Rooms and return to church for communion. Come and learn about Jesus and have lots of fun!

You will have great teachers and make lots of friends!  Children stay with their parent or grown-up at the start of the service for the welcome, songs and notices. We really value worshiping God all together as a family. Someone will announce that it’s time for the younger members to go to their various groups. You will need to go with your children to their groups and register them as part of our child safety policy.

The kids group activities vary depending on the age but usually there is a friendly welcome, Bible stories, testimonies, praying, music, craft, drama, fun games and free play.

Getting Connected

Small Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out Small Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.
