Summary of Activities
Operating as a campus of Kings People's Church, we meet every Sunday from 10:30 to 12:30. Our worship style is modern and our teaching positive and encouraging. Before and after the congregation are encouraged to meet with each other over tea and coffee.
Our kids work is called Giants. Our children (Giants) stay in the service for the first ten minutes or
1
so before leaving to enjoy their own space and fun with lots of Bible-based activities hosted by our great team of volunteers. At various times throughout the year the children put on performances, celebrate with parties, all whilst building friendships and learning life skills.
During midweek, our congregation meet as connect groups over food and fellowship as well as to discuss varioius teachings from the Bible. We alternate between prayer meetings, Bible studies and social get-togethers that present a good opportunity to bring along friends and family that might not be comfortable coming straight into a Sunday morning church setting.
We continue to run our Clothes Bank going from strength to strength and is a vital part of our community outreach. Anyone from the local community is welcome to use the bank. We collect clean, good quality children's clothing and make it available to local families. These are distributed through various partners including The Salvation Army as well as "open days" at church.
