Week Groups

These have now finished for the summer.  We pray that the leaders and young people are able to have a time of refreshment and renewal

There will be some changes taking place when the groups return in September. We have made the decision to make changes to the age range and name of our Tuesday night group to better serve the young people in attendance.

Tuesday Night will now be titled Bethel Kids, and will be open to all young people from school year 4 - year 7. (It will remain at the same time 7 - 8:15)

In addition, our Bethel Youth group on Friday will now include School Years 7 - Year 13 (All young people in high school), this group is at 7 - 9pm.

Year 7 young people can be flexible and have the option to continue on a Tuesday night or go to the Friday group-or both.  The  hope is that  this will help with the time of change young people will go through at that age.

All the groups will be starting back from September 4th (when schools start back)

Minecraft Server

We know that a lot of the young people miss contact with one another over the summer, so we also  have a Minecraft Server, which the young people can jump on and play together in an open survival world. If you would like more information on this and how to sign up please let Tim know.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello 

 

Where and When

The church is open for activities throughout the week but if you are just seeking us out it is likely that you will want to come and be a part of our Sunday worship which is core to what we are about.
We meet in the main church building (details here) at 10:30 each week. See our calendar to find out plans for the next few weeks.

Accessibility

There is wheelchair access and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. 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 and church lounge.

Our Sunday Services


Sunday morning services are structured but informal. They include a mix of both contemporary and traditional worship songs and hymns, prayers, readings from the Bible and a sermon that unpacks this. Occasionally we will also have specific updates about ways that God has been working through and in people and activities. Once a month we celebrate communion as part of the service. The last Sunday of the month is usually an Altogether Service when all ages are all together in one place for a more relaxed and activity based time of worship.

We aim to finish at about 11.45 to Midday when we serve free tea, coffee and cold drinks. This is a great opportunity to get to meet people.

Sunday Evening services, either in person or online, tend to be shorter and more reflective and are an opportunity to dig a little deeper into our relationship with God.
 

What about the children and youth?

We have a great programme for children of all ages, for more information about what happens please visit our Children and Youth page.

Getting Connected

 

Small Groups

It is often in smaller gatherings that we can really get to know other people. Being part of one of our small 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 in the afternoon and some in the evening either in the church, in peoples’ homes or online    .
If you are interested in joining a Small Group, let us know and we can put you in touch with the small group coordinator who will be more than happy to find a group that is convenient for you and introduce you to the group leader.
