Church and Community Activities

The Church & Centre offers modern worship on Sunday mornings at 9.45am as well as community facilities and activities that take place every day to meet a variety of community needs. The larger spaces or smaller meeting rooms are utilised by individuals and groups including local and national agencies.

The centre is well used by the community with our own toddler group, two dance schools using both halls and a karate school. Right 2 Speak, a counselling service, also operate from our building.

We are a designated ‘Place of welcome’ which attracts many people from the community when we are able to hold it from our coffee shop.

We have holistic fellowship groups that meet regularly as well as a small pastoral visitors’ team who reach out to members. Regular prayer mornings are held in the chapel area currently on Tuesday mornings and there are a number of very dedicated members who arrange flowers and provide cakes for after service refreshments. Having Richard as our PTO means that we benefit from his experience as a Cruse bereavement counsellor and we currently have two different groups that meet within the centre, each having their own emphasis when supporting members.

We have very good connections with our local primary schools and prior to COVID we had regular fortnightly assemblies as well as Open the Book twice a month and regular Messy events such as Messy Harvest, Advent and Easter where the schools come to us. We’re hoping to get these re-established again.
