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.

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. Most weeks, everyone starts together in the main service. Then, after about 15 minutes, children and young people (up to 14’s) are invited to head off to their groups (about 60 mins).

All groups are caring and safe environments, with fully trained leaders where children and young people are able to learn about God and grow in their faith.

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 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.

Each service starts at 11:00am and finishes at 12:30pm. You are welcome to arrive early from 10:30am, to connect together before the service starts at 11:00am.

Sermons are based on a theme from the bible and are shared in British Sign Language (BSL) with voiceover available which means there is full access for everyone both deaf and hearing, all are welcome.

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.
