Our Services
We worship God with our whole lives but gather together on Sundays to celebrate God’s love - using a whole range of ancient, traditional and contemporary resources. We’re open to new ways of doing things as well drawing upon ‘the old ways’ for wisdom and well being.
We celebrate our differences and believe that a diverse community founded upon mutual respect,
service and love can change the world!
SPD @ 9:30am
Sundays (except 1st Sunday of month)
Our traditional service uses liturgy based on ancient words that
the church has used for hundreds of years. Whilst we endeavour to
keep things fresh and engaging, the format of prayers, preaching
and traditional Communion (accompanied by organ-led singing)
remains pretty standard.
We appreciate that not everyone is familiar with this style of service
and we endeavour to be inclusive and accessible as we guide people
through ‘traditional’ encounter with God. We are always happy to
explain our practice and want everyone to feel relaxed and
welcome.
SPD @ 4pm
Sundays (except 1st Sunday of month)
Our contemporary service is at 4pm on Sundays (except the 1st Sunday of the month) – it is informal and family-friendly. Our ethos is that we encounter God through community and hospitality, and this is reflected in our gatherings where coffee, cake and conversation are a big part of who we are –
along with cosy ambience, band-led music, creativity, and open
hearts, as we explore the big (and the not-so-big) questions together.
Kids groups and crèche are also run on these Sundays.
Our Kids & Youth groups are all about building strong relationships
and exploring life together through having fun, asking questions
and feeling safe, known and loved in community.
The One Service @ 10.30am
1st Sunday of month
Our monthly 10.30am service is a refreshing, joyful blend of all
ages, stages and worship styles. It is our conviction that whilst we
all have our own preferences (traditional, gospel, charismatic) the
most important thing about Christian community is unity in diversity
– different people gathering together and serving one another is
more important than the style of songs we sing.
These services are family-friendly and also when we celebrate baptisms/christenings (see Baptisms/Weddings). All welcome.
The Hush Service
We gather once every quarter for the Hush Service where, together, we explore mindfulness and contemplative prayer. In a world of noise and perpetual motion, we want to make space to stop and be quiet – together. Each month we explore a different practice that helps us to cultivate stillness, listening and soul care.
