A Warm Hello 

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

We meet at the Church Building (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 10:30am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. We have a small parking lot to the right of the church beyond the terrace houses, otherwise, there is adequate street parking. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team at the entrance.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, with a new stair lift at the entrance of the church. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival if you would appreciate any support. There is also an accessible disabled toilet.

Our Service

Our services are an informal and welcoming environment - please don't feel the need to dress smart at all (unless it's important to you!). The main service begins at 10.30am with a warm welcome and news about the life of the church from one of our team members. Then follows a time of worship, with songs, prayer and an engaging all age slot, before the children head out to their activities. Someone will bring prayer for the world and our church community, and a Bible reading will be shared from the front. One of our leaders will then give a sermon drawn from the Bible passage that was read, considering how we can apply it to our everyday life. We then finish with a final worship song, after which we encourage you to stay for tea & coffee as we share in fellowship together. We normally have communion on the first Sunday of each month. Once a month we have an interactive and engaging all-age service, where all are welcome!

             

What about my kids?

We have a great kids programme called JAM (Jesus and Me), available every Sunday. We also provide a small group for teenagers.

Children stay with their parent or grown-up at the start of the service as we worship (sing songs), together for the first part of the morning. At some point (around 11am) the service leader will announce that it’s time for the younger members to go to their groups. If you are visiting with your children for the first time you will need to take your children through to meet the JAM leader together.

Getting Connected

 

Life Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our Life Groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out Life Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a Life Group coordinator who will be more than happy to chat with you about coming along to their group.

Serving and Volunteering

If you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team. 

Other Ministries

We also run the following ministries:

• MBC Café
• Jack & Jills
• Asylum Seekers Café
