Our gatherings are informal, during which we spending some time worshipping together, hearing a Bible-based talk that inspires and encourages, an opportunity for prayer and some time to connect with others. 

Each service normally lasts around 75 minutes, and there are free refreshments served afterwards.

Everyone starts together in the main service (during 9:30am service only). Then, after about 15 minutes, the children and young people (up to 14’s) are invited to join engaging and age-appropriate groups led by our children’s and youth team for 60 minutes during the main service time.

They are safe caring environments where they can learn about God and deepen their understanding together.

Children and Young people are the church of today as well as the church of tomorrow. Each week, there are engaging and age-appropriate activities led by our children’s and youth team.

Word of Hands is a Christian community for anyone who uses British Sign Language (BSL) where we meet together at Riverside House on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month. We are a community in which the hearing & deaf, adults & children, men & women, as well as people from different cultural backgrounds, can all come together and be fully inclusive.

We provide a Sunday school. We have eight groups that cater for children aged 3-14 years old. We have volunteers who will teach and help look after your children in the Sunday school, so you can bring them with you and leave them there while you enjoy the adult service yourselves.
