Expose our faith, not impose our faith

Jesus told his disciples that they were to ‘go and make disciples.” He confirmed his followers as agents of making the Good News known to those around them.

And the church grew, and still grows today around the world, but less so in our nation. The early church didn’t have an evangelistic strategy other than to live, breath and reflect God’s love in their lives. They exposed their faith rather than imposed their faith, and the church grew. Their faith helped them understand that ‘making disciples’ is a matter of continuing learning rather than a final moment, and that baptism is the start-line of an ongoing relationship, to be lived, loved, deepened and strengthened throughout our lives, with God the Holy Trinity. Out of that living relationship comes the exposing of their faith to those around them, the rich joy of the divine relationship shining forth with wonder to those around them.

We are often so fearful to speak of Jesus, except we need not fear if we expose our faith to those around us. Those interested will come to us. Then we can share our lived experience of Jesus.

Our autumn sermon series enables us to recall the joy and gladness of being living witnesses, exposers of our faith day by day, whom seekers can approach.

For visiting on Sundays

We have four services:

Though varying in style and types of worship, each helps us to explore and understand the love of God and what that means to our lives.

Over summer holiday periods and at special times, like Easter, Harvest and Christmas, we often change our Sunday services to bring the two main morning congregations (9.30am and 11.15am) together at 10.30am.

Please check our Church calendar to know our service timings.

Children

If you have children, pre-schoolers have their own carpeted area with toys where you can sit comfortably as a family and still be part of the service. Primary and Secondary children may join an age-appropriate activity group for part of the service when announced.

Parking

There are council car parks in Salt Lane and West Orchard, a short walk to the church. Disabled parking is available on Cuckoo Lane (CV1 5RN), very close to the church.

Please refer to our Church calendar or our Latest News letter to know What’s On.
