            GROWING TOGETHER

oak banner sss



Our small groups usually consist of 6-12 people from church, or those who want to know more about Christianity.

We meet in various places, at different times, and in different formats. Groups meet during the day or in the evening; weekly or fortnightly; in the church building, or in church members' homes, or on Zoom.

All our small groups are open to everybody, both men and women. We discuss the bible, pray, support and encourage one another, as we discover together more about what it means to be a Christian.

If you would like to try joining a small group, contact one of the clergy team and we can put you in touch with one of the small group leaders.

Planning your Visit

New to Church? 


If you are planning your first visit to St John’s, welcome! We hope the information below will help you.
 
Our Sunday morning services begin at 10.00am. When you arrive, you will be greeted by one of our welcoming team who will help you find somewhere to sit and will give you a service booklet and a hymn book. Please see our ‘Sunday services’ page for more details of services and times.
We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the morning service and we hope very much that you will stay for a chat. All refreshments are free.
 
Accessibility: There is wheelchair access through powered double doors, and an accessible toilet. We have a small car park, and there is free parking on a Sunday in the surrounding streets. You may wish to arrive 10-15 minutes early if you need a parking space close to the church.
 
You can expect:
- A warm welcome, with everything you need to follow the service easily;
- Beautiful music in the English choral tradition at both Sunday services, led by the St John's choir and organist;
- A talk or sermon, usually focused on the readings we have heard;
- On Sunday and Wednesday mornings, tea or coffee afterwards and time to chat with others.
 
What about children?
We have a regular Children’s Church on Sunday mornings for 4-11 year-olds. The children learn about the same Bible readings we are hearing in church, with games, activities and prayers. We also have an All-Age service, where everybody worships together, on the first Sunday of each month. Find out more about Children's Ministry
