Services
Sunday Worship
We offer three weekly worship services tailored to different preferences: a quiet 9am communion service, a family-friendly 10:30am service with children's programs, and a contemporary 6:30pm service for younger adults. All services feature modern worship music and biblical teaching, with refreshments available post-service. Our temporary venues during renovations maintain the same welcoming atmosphere while we upgrade our main building.
Youth Groups
Our C4 Youth program provides age-specific discipleship for teenagers through weekly groups and special events. The 10:30am Sunday service includes dedicated youth activities, while midweek hubs offer safe spaces for spiritual growth and social connection. During offsite periods, we maintain structured programs with trained leaders to ensure continuity in young people's faith development.
Community Outreach
Through the Gateway Project, we're expanding our capacity to serve vulnerable populations in Woking. Our initiatives include community meals, youth mentoring, and partnerships with local charities. The new community centre will provide dedicated spaces for outreach programs, reflecting our commitment to practical compassion and social responsibility in line with Christian values.
Life Groups
Midweek Life Groups meet across Woking for Bible study, prayer, and fellowship. These informal gatherings create opportunities for deeper relationships and spiritual growth. During building renovations, groups continue meeting in homes and community spaces, maintaining our focus on building a supportive, interconnected church family.
Mission Partnerships
We partner with international mission organisations and local churches to extend our impact beyond Woking. Through financial support, prayer partnerships, and volunteer opportunities, we help address global needs while strengthening local church networks. Our collaborations reflect the biblical mandate to share God's love both locally and internationally.
