Pastoral Care

Find the help you need...

What is pastoral care?

Pastoral care...

...flows from our commitment to love one another because we are loved by God. It's about developing good relationships and enabling one another to follow and become more like Jesus. It reflects God’s desire to bring healing and wholeness of spirit, mind and body and seeks to guide people to see God at work in their lives and to co-operate with him.

What we can do

What we can do

If you (or someone close) is unwell we can offer prayer and a listening ear. We can give prayer support via the prayer chain. We can also offer short-term help like arranging transport, arranging meals or referring to services. We have Pastoral carers who will work confidentially with you and who are aware of the kind of issues you may wish to talk about. hey can give one to one discipleship and biblical reflection.

What we won't do

What we won't do...

We don't judge. We can't diagnose or recommend medication. We also won't discuss confidential issues with others. We are not here to replace Social Services or other agencies and neither can we cover for illegal or harmful activity.

How can we help?

The church has a courtyard in front of it where you may park but please be aware that it tends to fill up fast.

Parking is also available along Etnam Street and there is parking behind the Chequers pub opposite the church which is pay and display (2 Hours for £0.50 and 4 Hours for £1.00).

Each Sunday we have our weekly gatherings. During the Coronavirus pandemic these have changed and some gatherings are online. Learn More >

You can expect a warm welcome, some music designed to provide an atmosphere of worship and a message to help you think and address real life and help you find your potential in a relationship with God.

We aim to make our services accessible to as many as possible. If you choose to come along you will find plenty of help and explanation of what is happening. We do take up a monetary collection but it is for our members and regular attendees. If you are a visitor or guest, please do not feel like you have to give. Learn More >

We see children as part of the family so they normally stay with parents for the first part of the morning meeting and then go out when the children’s programmes start. However we do have times when the young people stay in (normally the first Sunday of each month). You will be informed when this is the case.

In the mornings there is a creche available for parents with babies and toddlers. There are also groups for children up to age 18.
