Services
Sunday Worship
Our Sunday morning gatherings combine prayer, Bible reading, and discussion in an informal lounge setting. We focus on communal worship through singing, shared reflections, and open dialogue. The service includes opportunities for all ages to contribute, with flexible arrangements for families with young children.
Little Seedlings
This weekly session provides a welcoming space for parents and carers with babies and toddlers. Activities include playtime, crafts, and informal fellowship with other families. The group operates during term time with a small contribution requested per family to support running costs.
Bible Study
We explore the Bible through structured study sessions focusing on specific books and passages. Current studies include an in-depth journey through John's Gospel with accompanying video resources. Sessions combine teaching, discussion, and practical application of scriptural insights.
Prayer Meetings
Regular prayer gatherings take place both in person and via Zoom. These sessions focus on intercessory prayer for church members, local community needs, and global concerns. Participants can request prayer support through our contact channels.
Community Outreach
We actively engage with our local community through various initiatives. This includes sharing facilities with other churches, supporting local charities, and responding to community needs through practical assistance and spiritual guidance.
