Arriving
Come anytime from 10.00am. Our gathering begins as 10.30am but we’d love to offer you a coffee or tea before we start. Our friendly welcome team (they’re the ones with the lanyards on) will let you know where to go, where you can grab a drink and answer any questions you have.
Service
When the Gathering starts we encourage everyone to take their seats (there is a countdown on the screens!). We start with a time of sung worship led by the band. The words are on the screen and you’re free to join in or sit and watch. Then we normally have prayer, notices, a talk looking at the Bible and issues that affect our daily lives. We always make time to pray for people at the end should they want it.
Each gathering normally lasts about 90minutes.
Children and Youth
We love having children and young people with us in church and want them to feel really welcome! We offer Children’s and Youth ministry at our Town Centre location; in the East children and youth remain in the service.
In our Town Centre location, Vineyard Kids run from age 3 to 11 years and you can register them when you arrive. One of the welcome team will show you where to go. Our kids and youth stay for our worship and leave around 11am. You’ll be told exactly when and where to go from the front.
Access
Both our locations have disabled access. Please ask anyone wearing a lanyard if you need assistance.
Dress code
Whatever you’re comfortable in works for us! We’re an informal group and often gather with shorts, t-shirts and trainers. If you feel better in a shirt and tie, though, we won’t bat an eyelid either.
The Building
Town Centre
From the outside the church might not look like a church, in fact, its not a great looking building. However, beautiful things happen on the inside!
East
We meet at Lodge Farm Community Centre, so again it’s doesn’t look much like a tradional church. But it’s warm and the people inside are friendly!
Safeguarding
We are a warm and friendly church who are committed to being a safe church for all. Our safeguarding policies and protocols are available to view on this website. We believe that keeping people safe is everyone’s responsibility. If anyone sees or experiences something that doesn’t seem right we encourage them to report it straight away.
