Services
Sunday Services
Our Sunday morning services begin at 10:30am with a warm welcome and an hour-and-a-half of worship featuring singing, prayer, Bible readings, and sermons. We incorporate both traditional and modern musical elements with piano, organ, and live bands. The service includes interactive segments from different church groups and special youth-led services throughout the year. TV screens display lyrics and service details to help newcomers follow along easily.
Children's Ministry
We offer age-specific programmes for children during services, including Sparklers (under 2s) with supervised play areas, Ignite (3-11s) with creative activities and Bible exploration, and Rock Solid (11-18s) focusing on life questions and discipleship. All group leaders undergo DBS checks and follow our Safe to Grow policy. Parents may keep children with them during services if preferred, with activity sheets available for all ages.
Community Outreach
Our church actively engages in community support through partnerships with local agencies and independent initiatives. We run the Christians Against Poverty programme, English conversation classes for non-native speakers, and the Renew Wellbeing Cafe. These projects address practical needs while fostering connections with residents across Northamptonshire. Our outreach efforts aim to demonstrate Christian values through tangible actions that benefit the wider community.
Alpha Course
The Alpha Course provides a relaxed environment for exploring the basics of Christianity through weekly sessions. Each session includes a meal, informal discussion, and short talk about core Christian beliefs. This programme caters to both newcomers and those seeking to deepen their understanding, with topics covering faith, purpose, and the role of religion in modern life. No prior knowledge or commitment is required to attend.
Prayer Team
Our dedicated Prayer Team offers personal prayer and spiritual guidance after each Sunday service. Members are available to discuss individual needs, provide emotional support, and pray with visitors seeking spiritual connection. This service extends beyond Sunday mornings through scheduled prayer meetings and outreach to those requiring additional support. The team maintains confidentiality while fostering a culture of care and spiritual growth.
