We’d like you to feel totally welcome at Christchurch Baptist Church. We don’t mind who you are, what you’ve done or what you’re like. We’re just glad you’ve decided to join with us.

To make you feel at home on Sundays, here’s a brief guide to the way we do things at CBC (as we often call ourselves).

Our services start at 10.30 am and 7.00 pm. We don’t use hymn books and our songs are fairly modern in style. All the words are projected overhead on a big screen, and if there are any spoken words to participate with, these’ll go up there too.

If you’ve got kids they’re welcome to join with our usual children’s groups, part-way through the service when the children leave (just follow them through to the back building). Or keep them with you in the main service if you prefer; it’s entirely up to you. We absolutely don’t mind noise (kids are kids after all) but there’s also a staffed crèche with lots of toys if you’ve got a baby or toddler who’d prefer that, and a changing table in the ladies’ toilets if nature calls.

Our church building is fully wheelchair accessible and we have an induction loop fitted, so if you use a hearing aid you can switch it to the ‘T’ position.

You’re also welcome to enjoy tea & coffee and cakes with us after the service in the Christian Centre (the back building). Or if you want to quietly slip away, feel free.

The whole thing starts with some gentle worship songs at 10.30 am to help focus our minds on God, but why not come at 10.15 to be sure of a good seat.

We don’t have any parking spaces available at the church so if you’re coming by car please use the public car parks nearby. We usually finish by 12.00, so if you’d like to stay for refreshments afterwards, why not get a 2-3 hour ticket, just to be safe. (Be aware the parking wardens do operate on a Sunday!)

We look forward to seeing you there!

...because God welcomes you
