Parking is available on-site or nearby, but spaces are limited. Arriving 15-30 minutes early is a good idea to find parking and settle in.
Absolutely! Many people attend church alone, and it’s perfectly normal. You might even find others who are there solo as well.
Services typically include music (singing), prayer, scripture reading, and a sermon (a talk about faith or life). The format can vary, so feel free to drop us a line to ask.
We offer a children’s program during the service; there are groups for preschool to school age, reception to year 3, year 4 to 6 and year 7 to 11. You will need to fill out a registration form for your kids for safety reasons, which can be done when you visit.
You won’t be forced to interact, but we do encourage fellowship. You can engage at your comfort level, whether that’s chatting with someone or enjoying the service quietly.
Consider attending our other church events and activities. We have small groups that meet through the week, various bits on during the week and refreshments after services. Our mid-week activities are community orientated, where you can meet others in a relaxed setting.
We mainly sing contemporary worship songs on a Sunday morning with a full band with occasional traditional hymns. You can usually find examples of the music by watching a service on our YouTube channel
No, there’s no obligation to give. However, we will talk about financial offerings during the service. Regular attendees and members are encouraged to support the church as they are able.
Yes! You can attend services without having to volunteer or join a rota. Many people come just to participate in worship. However, joining a rota is a great way to meet people and feel a part of the community.
You can sit wherever you feel comfortable. If you’re unsure, look for someone on the welcome team to ask for guidance (they’ll have a blue lanyard around their neck).
Most people who attend our church dress casually. It’s best to wear what makes you feel comfortable.
We welcome everyone, regardless of where you live. You’re encouraged to come as you are.
Yes! We are open to everyone, regardless of belief. Church is a place for exploration and community.
Try smaller gatherings or events. You can also reach out to individuals after service; most will be happy to chat. We also have a monthly evening service called Evening Praise which has a lower attendance and is less formal.
We have two main entrances. Once onto Beveridge Street, which requires going up steps, the other is at the back of the main building and is a level entrance. Whichever entrance you use you’ll be greeted by a member of the welcome team who can direct you to where to go and show you the facilities
Services typically conclude with a final prayer, blessing and a time for fellowship (chatting and encouraging one another over a cuppa).
We offer a Tuesday afternoon service, which typically includes more traditional songs and hymns, along with prayers and a talk on a relevant subject. We also have small groups (called Growth Groups) that tend to meet in people’s homes. Please contact the church office to ask for more details.
Yes! While some noise is expected, if it becomes disruptive, you might want to step outside for a moment. We understand children’s behaviour and see children as a gift from God to be welcomed and appreciated.
Consider walking (especially if you live in the village and are able). Sadly, public transport to the village isn’t great. You could try to arrange to car-share with someone. Please feel free to contact the office if you have any questions.
Yes, it’s completely normal to feel emotional during services. Many people cry, and it’s accepted as part of the human experience.
Services start at 10am, we encourage people to arrive 10-15 minutes beforehand so that they can get settled and have a chat.
Sit wherever you want. Ask the welcome team to help you if you want.
Children are welcome to stay with the adults rather than go to Sunday school. If they are uncomfortable going without their parent or carer, then they can go with them to help them settle.
