Courses and Events

images-Events

We run courses that will help you to grow in your faith and provide valuable input into your life as well as putting on events with the aim of having fun together and blessing those in our local community.

Soul Winner Boot Camp

We ran our first SoulWinners Boot Camp in May 2021 by joining Andy Elmes from Family Church in Portsmouth on zoom for the 5 weeks. If you would like to do this course then please get in touch and we can let you know about the next available dates.

First Steps Discipleship Course

First Steps is an 8 week discipleship course for people taking their first steps into a relationship with Jesus.
We look at topics such as- how to pray and hear God, where do I start with the Bible? Who is the Holy Spirit? Why is church important? and, What does it mean to be a "new creation"? whilst getting to know other people who are at a similar place in their faith journey.
First steps is for anyone who has questions about the fundamentals of christianity and who wants to get to know Jesus better, whether you've just finished an Alpha course, have recently become a Christian or are coming back to God after a long time.
There's a booklet that covers each topic that we read at home in the week, before meeting together weekly over Zoom in groups of 4-6 to reflect upon and put into practice some of what we learned.
Groups are run throughout the year, please get in touch to find out when the next group is starting and how you can sign up.

Planning your Visit

What to expect:

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

Sunday Morning Church is held at the local memorial hall (details below) for our weekly gathering. It's the best way to find out who we are and what we do & you'll be very welcome! Everything starts at 10am. When you arrive, you'll be greeted by someone in the foyer who will accompany you to the main hall

We serve excellent tea, coffee and delicious nibbles from 10am and this is a great way to meet people, catch up with friends and simply take time to find your bearings. It's all free!

Plan your journey:

Open Google Maps

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop . Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There are disabled toilets in the main foyer.

Sunday Morning Church

SMC is our weekly gathering and begins at 10am when the band leads us in worship . We typically have 3 or 4 songs that last approximately 15-20 minutes. Sometimes a person might pray out loud or read a small passage from the Bible. Sometimes one of the leaders might share things that they believe God is saying to the whole church family. This is all part of our connecting with God. One of our leaders will then give a talk that is bible-based and that we can apply to our everyday life. We then share news and notices, usually about what’s going on in the life of the church and finish with more drinks and snacks. We share communion most weeks. There is always an opportunity to receive prayer at the end of the service if you would like that.

What about my kids?

We have a great programme lined up for kids of all ages:

0-5s - at the back of the meeting room. There is a generous carpetted area and a wide selection of toys etc. We ask that all children are accompanied by their parent/carer.
6-14s currently all meet together with age-appropriate fun materials used accordingly.
Young people (15+ years) Stay in service.

Children stay with their parent or grown-up at the start of the service for the welcome, songs and notices. We really value worshipping God all together as a family. At the end of the notices someone will announce that it’s time for the younger members to go to their groups. You will need to go with your children to their groups and register them as part of our child safety policy. Whilst you are dropping your kids off at their groups, we pause to take time to chat to someone sitting near or next to us, giving folk a chance to come back before the talk begins.

The kids group activities vary depending on the age but usually there is a friendly welcome, bible stories, testimonies, praying, music, craft, drama, fun games and free play. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes if they haven't already come back into the hall.
