Sunday Worship
Our Sunday worship gatherings feature a blend of traditional hymns and contemporary songs, Bible readings, and practical sermons. The morning service includes a children's segment, while evenings offer a more informal caf-style format. Both services last approximately 80 minutes, with communion celebrated monthly.
Children's Groups
SPLAT! (for primary-aged children) and Oakwood Toddler Group provide age-appropriate activities during Sunday mornings. These sessions combine fun, learning, and Bible stories in a safe environment, staffed by DBS-checked volunteers with child safety protocols in place.
Bible Studies
Weekly Bible-focused sessions explore scripture through sermons, small group discussions, and topical studies. Materials cater to various life stages, with specific resources for young adults and students seeking deeper theological understanding.
Community Outreach
We actively engage with the local community through events like Ladies' Evenings, men's fellowship gatherings, and seasonal outreach programs. These initiatives aim to build relationships beyond Sunday services, reflecting Christian values through practical support and friendship.
Youth Programs
Targeted groups for teenagers and young adults provide age-specific teaching, social activities, and spiritual development. Sessions include interactive discussions, worship, and opportunities for leadership development within a supportive peer environment.
