ADULTS
Growing in faith is much more than just going to church on Sunday. It’s about living our whole lives with God in the centre. That’s not easy but it really helps when we have the support of others to share in our highs and lows and encourage us in our life journeys. We have many different groups that meet during the week to build community and to encourage one another.
Life Groups
Various daytime and evening groups are available
Life Groups are a great way to get connected into Church life and make new friends. At it’s heart, a Life Group is less about what you do and more about who you do it with. We all need each other and that’s why we have Life Groups. They provide a way of exploring what it means to be a Christian in today’s world while at the same time growing deep relationships and having fun. Whether you are new to Church life or have been part of Churches for years, there is a Life Group for you!
Men
The Men’s ministry seeks to provide opportunities for men in the church to connect with one another regularly.
We want to deepen our love for each other, for God, and to reach out to others as a team. We do all this through conversation, food, and social events.
Women
The Women’s ministry at CBC seeks to encourage & inspire women of all ages. There is a desire to meet regularly so relationships to be strengthened and more women can be part of the ministry.
Church Lunch
6 times a year we enjoy a marvellous lunch together. These Bring & Share lunches take place on a Sunday after the morning service and whilst we encourage people to ‘bring’ there is always food prepared so that everyone can be a part of the lunch – enjoying food from all around the world.
Alpha
Alpha is for anyone who is curious to explore the big questions of life. The magazine style talks are designed to encourage conversation and explore the Christian faith in a friendly, open and informal environment. Alpha will include food, a short talk and a discussion where you can say anything you like or nothing at all. Click here to find out when the next course will take place.
Worship & Prayer
Every Sunday, we gather at 10am to pray before our main service.
We begin each half term with a weekend of Worship and Prayer. On the Saturday we have a Worship Night and on the Sunday we have a Prayer Night – an opportunity to pray in a range of styles. These both take place at 7pm and all are welcome
The first week of each term is also regularly designated as 7 Days of Prayer. During this week, there will be daily devotionals and opportunities to pray together.
Needles & Pins
Last Friday of the month at 10am
A great opportunity for people of any age to gather and knit! There is no need for any level of expertise or previous experience – everyone is welcome.
Bethany Coffee Morning
Wednesdays 10am-12pm
A wonderful place for older folk to meet together in a relaxed atmosphere and welcoming environment. We always have puzzles and coffee and each week we have a different activity to keep us entertained. We also regularly celebrate birthdays of our members. New people always welcome, simply come along on any Wednesday from 10am to join in.
Afternoon services
Once per half-term, Sunday at 3pm
At the Afternoon Service, we enjoy a short talk, prayers and singing a selection of familiar songs and hymns. This is followed by delightful refreshments and an opportunity to chat with one another. It is a service perhaps more suitable for older friends, but is open to all ages.
