What's On

In addition to Sunday worship, a wide range of events and activities take place throughout the week — publicised in the church newsletter and on our Facebook page.

Please note that, Sunday services excepted, not all these events and activities take place every week. Please check the church calendar or contact the person responsible for the activity for further information.

Sunday

Traditional Worship

First and third Sunday of the month only. A more traditional service format, suitable for all, particularly those who value worshipping with traditional hymns sung to the organ.

10:30 am – 12:00 pm

Contemporary Worship

A more modern style of service suitable for all ages, including families with children. Led by our worship band, highly accessible to people who are seeking or newly exploring their faith. At certain times of the year this takes the form of café-style all-age worship. Coffee, tea and biscuits served afterwards.

During the 10:30 service

King's Kids & Crèche

Activities for children following the themes of the church service. Children join the congregation for the start of the service, then leave for crèche (ages 0–3) and King's Kids (ages 4–11), rejoining later for a shared time of worship.
