Sunday Morning
10am Service
Two Sundays a month
On the 1st and 3rd Sundays of most months, there are two Sunday morning services. As well as the 10.00 am Service, there is a Said Service of Holy Communion at 8.30am.
-
The 8.30 am Service is a Common Worship Service of Holy Communion with a short sermon.
-
Service runs from 8.30am to approximately 9.05am
-
It's a 'Said Service', so there is no singing or music and provides for a quieter and more reflective style of service.
-
The 8.30am is our more formal and traditional service.

Special Services
Throughout the Year
Family Services
A new Family Worship Service launched at the beginning of May and will be held on the First Sunday of the Month.
Family Worship is an all-age service for the whole family, featuring interactive elements, drama, and shorter talks that engage all ages together.
Seasonal Celebrations
During the year, there will be seasonal variations in our service pattern as we celebrate special occasions.
Christmas services, Easter, Harvest, and Remembrance Sunday are all special celebrations that the whole community can take part in and are marked by special services.
Prayer Meetings
As well as our services on Sundays and other special occasions, there are regular prayer meetings held throughout the year.
Amongst other times, there is a regular 8.30am prayer meeting on Thursday mornings and an annual 24 Hours of Prayer in the summer, which this year was held on the 27th and 28th of June.
On the second and third Sunday of the month
Our Family Worship and Family Communion services, held on the first and fourth Sundays of each month, are all-age services designed to help the whole family worship together, with content especially for children.
On the second and third Sundays of each month, we offer Breakout Children’s Church. Children join the main service for the beginning and end, and 'Breakout' for their own activities during the middle of the service. Breakout helps the children:
-
Meet with Jesus through Bible stories and activities.
-
Ask questions, share ideas and discover faith together.
-
Make friends and enjoy being part of our church family.
-
Feel welcome, whether it’s your first visit or you come every week
