What happens at a Sunday morning service?

There’s such a range of styles of services, that you may like to look at the Sunday Services tab for details, but most services will include:

  • Worship and teaching based on the bible
  • Most services last about an hour, with the Communion services about 70 minutes
  • ​​​​​​Coffee and refreshments afterwards to get to know people
  • We serve free real Fairtrade coffee!

Will I have to do anything?

  • Nothing is compulsory! You don't need to join in anything unless you want to.  All the words are on a screen but we usually have paper copies available as well
  • You're welcome to sit anywhere
  • There's no dress code
  • We don't worry about noisy children!
  • There is a no collection during the service since many people give to the church through their bank accounts.  See here for more information

How do I get in?

  • There is some parking on-site though many of the surrounding roads have on road parking – eg Babbacombe Road, Ilsham Road
