Visiting a church for the first time can be daunting, but having an idea of what to expect can help you relax. Our Sunday Service starts at 10.30am and we meet at Lace Hill Academy.
Please note that on Sunday 15th December we will not be meeting at 10.30am but at 5.00pm for Carol Service (venue Lace Hill Academy)
What normally happens?
After a warm welcome, we normally have a time of worship with singing for about half an hour. The children then go to their groups and the adults enjoy a relevant talk from the Bible. The service is normally finished by 11:45am, followed by tea, coffee and biscuits. At all times we want visitors to feel relaxed and to participate as they feel comfortable.
Can I make a contact before I come?
It can be difficult meeting people for the first time and not knowing anyone. If you would find it helpful you can contact us and let us know you are coming and we will get in touch so that you know at least one person when you arrive. Contact us here.
What should I wear?
There is no dress code, smart-casual is never wrong but just come as you are – in keeping with the weather.
What is the music like?
Our worship is contemporary, relaxed and upbeat, singing both new and traditional songs.
What is there for children?
We encourage children to join in with the worship and we run various groups for different ages during the adult’s talk time:
Is there parking?
There is parking inside the school grounds.
Can someone pray for me when I visit?
We believe that God not only wants us to know about him, but also experience him in our everyday lives. This is why we'd love to pray for you and/or with you if you would like us to.
What about money?
As a visitor you will not be expected to give any money, however if you would like to give to support the vision of the Church, your contribution is always appreciated. Our finances are managed by a Treasurer, a finance team and Church Trustees and our accounts are audited by external accountants and comply with Charity Commission regulation.
Communion
Once each month (usually 2nd Sunday) we have Communion, where we remember and thank God for Christ’s sacrifice of Himself for us. We welcome everyone who knows and loves the Lord Jesus to take part in this with us.
