What To Expect

A Service Rooted in the Word

At the heart of our service is a reading from the Bible and a talk, bringing understanding and relevance from the Bible - the word of God - to our lives today. During the service we pray, sing hymns (both old and new) and hear news about various activities organised by the church.

Part way through the service, younger children go to a separate room to do crafts, games and learn about Jesus.

Before You Come

Your Questions, Answered

Hopefully we've covered what you need to know, but here are a few more things people often ask.

What time should I arrive?

Our doors open at 9.45 am and services start at 10.30 am. Don't worry if you arrive late - you won't be locked out.

Where can I park?

We have a large car park with plenty of free parking.

How long will the service last?

Services usually last just over an hour.

What should I wear?

You don't have to 'dress up' or wear your Sunday best. Just be yourself and come as you are.

Will I be asked to do anything?

No. You won't be singled out or put on the spot. You can participate as much, or as little, as you like.

Do I have to be a Christian?

No. Everyone is welcome. But if you have any questions about the Bible or what it means to be a Christian, please feel free to talk to our Pastor, Rob Tearle.

Do I need any money?

No. We would just love you to join us. However, there is a collection box at the exit door and we also have a monthly collection during the service so people can contribute to the work of the church. But you are under no obligation to give anything.

Can I watch the service from home?

Yes. Our services are streamed live through our YouTube channel and Facebook page.

What else does the church do?

We organise a variety of activities throughout the week to appeal to all ages and interests. Our website and Facebook page give details of these events, or get in touch with us for more information.

Do you hold an evening service?

On Sunday evenings we join other churches in the Christ Church Network (Christ Church Newland, Christ Church Riverside and Christ Church Hessle) for a service at St Mary's College at 6.30pm.

We Look Forward To Seeing You On Sunday

Whether you would call yourself a Christian or not we would love you to join us to worship God together and - through the Bible - to learn more about the God who made us.
