Services
Sunday Worship
Our Sunday Worship services combine traditional hymns with contemporary music, featuring sermons from ministers and local preachers. Held weekly at 10am, these services include communion, all-age worship elements, and opportunities for reflection. The service lasts approximately one hour, with child-friendly activities available through our Roots programme.
Be Still Service
Monthly contemplative services held on the first Sunday of each month. These 40-50 minute sessions focus on quiet reflection and meditation without sermons, creating space for personal connection with God. The service uses ambient music and guided prayers to facilitate spiritual renewal in a peaceful environment.
All-Age Worship
Monthly interactive worship sessions designed for all ages, combining songs, games, and reflective activities. These services feature child-led elements and accessible teachings that engage both young people and adults. Special themes align with church calendar events and seasonal celebrations throughout the year.
Children's Groups
Structured activities for children aged 3-18, including Roots groups during Sunday services. Our age-appropriate programmes combine Bible stories, crafts, and games to nurture young faith. Special events include holiday clubs and family worship opportunities that encourage intergenerational learning and connection.
Community Events
Regular community-building activities including coffee mornings, seasonal fairs, and support groups. We host local organisations and provide space for eco-church initiatives that promote environmental stewardship. These events foster neighbourly connections while demonstrating Christian values through practical community care.
