Just come as you are...
If you are planning to visit our church on a Sunday, the following should help you feel at home with us a s soon as possible.
Where and When
For our Sunday morning service, we meet upstairs, while the children take over the downstairs for all their different groups. Our service starts at 10:30 and if this is your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. To get to our car park type WD23 2NG in to your sat nav, and this will take you to the back of our church. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team who will be happy to answer any questions that you may have, and will be able to direct you upstairs to where we have the service. Please note, if you are using the lift, you need to go to level1. Click here (details here) for a few more general details about our church.
Our morning service usually finishes between 11:45 and 12, and the we serve tea, coffee and biscuits downstairs. This is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.
Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival if you need any help. There are disabled toilets both up and downstairs.
Our Morning Service
The main service begins at 10:30am with a warm welcome from the person leading the service. While no two services are the same, the general pattern for our services is that we have a welcome, then we sing a couple of songs, then someone leads an all age talk which afterwards the children go out to their groups. Then we sing some more, before the sermon which is bible based and that we can apply to our everyday life, this lasts around 20-30 minutes. We then have a time for people to response and get prayer while during a time of worship. Sometimes a person might pray out loud or read a small passage from the bible. Sometimes people share things that they believe God is saying to the whole church family. This might seem strange the first time you hear it but it’s all part of our connecting with God. There is always an opportunity to receive prayer at the end of the service.
What do the children get up to?
We have a great programme lined up for kids of all ages:
-
Creche (0 months to 2 years). We have a wide selection of age appropriate toys and baby facilities to keep your little one happy busy on a Sunday morning.
-
CBBC (We have two CBBC's groups. One is for children in school years 2-4, and the other is for those in years 5-6) Each Sunday session is interactive and fun packed, with bible teaching to help our children learn more about God.
-
Legacy is for those aged 11-18? At Legacy they get into the Bible, pray together and help each other to come closer to Jesus. While having loads of fun on the journey!
Children stay with their parent or grown-up at the start of the service for the welcome, songs and notices. We really value worshipping God all together as a family. When it is time for the children to go to their group, someone will announce that it’s time for them to go to their various groups. You will need to go with your children to their groups and register them as part of our child safety policy.
Getting Connected
House Groups
While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of a house group allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some mornings and some evenings. Check out Small Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.
