A Warm Hello 

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

Where and When

We meet at the Church Building (details below) for our Sunday Service starting at 10.30am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team. We also serve tea and coffee before the service.

Plan your journey: 

Open Google Maps

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and 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. There is a disabled toilet in the main foyer.

Our Service

The main service begins at 10.30am with a warm welcome from our Pastor or another member of our team. Then we have a time of sung worship, led by musicians. Sometimes a person might pray out loud or read a small passage from the Bible. Sometimes people share things that they believe God is saying to the whole church family. This might seem strange the first time you hear it but it’s all part of our connecting with God. One of our leaders will then give a sermon that is Bible based and that we can apply to our everyday life. We then finish with a final worship song.

What about my children?

We have a great programme lined up for children of all ages:

• Creche (preschoolers). We will set up toys and space in our school room. You are welcome to take your child out at anytime during the service. During the sermon, if we have enough helpers, you will be able to leave your child. Please ensure you have let the leader know details about your child before leaving them.
• Sunday School (Reception-Yr5). Most weeks we offer a Sunday School during the sermon. We also run a monthly Kings Club where all the children will be together for fun and worship. Sometimes we have a family service where everyone stays in the service. 
• Young people (Yr6-9) are in for the first part of the service and then go to their own group. We also run a monthly Kings Club where all the children and young people will be together for fun and worship. Sometimes we have a family service where everyone stays in the service. 

Getting Connected

Life 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 life groups/prayer triplets 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 our Life Groups page and contact us. We can put you in touch with a life group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

Leadership 

Revd Simon Hudson, Senior Pastor

Simon's vision is taken from Acts 20:20 - to get the Christian message into homes on a regular basis - and so he is always willing to visit people to offer pastoral support and spiritual care. You can find his teaching via our media page and, when time allows he blogs at acts2020.wordpress.com.

 

We hope that whoever you are, you will feel at home at our church. We look forward to getting to know you!
