Main Meetings:

Sun 10:30 Sunday Morning service
Main worship service, with the Bible at the centre of all we do. Songs, prayers, Bible readings, and a main teaching message ('sermon'). Songs are projected on a screen. Bibles available. Refreshments after the service. A Sunday school for primary aged children during term time. Lord's Supper/Communion on 2nd Sunday/month. Fellowship lunch on 1st. Sun 18:00 Sunday Evening service
(Not on the first Sunday each month) Somewhat smaller and more informal in setting than our morning service, but equally important, as we again worship God and open his Word. Sometimes, these service include testimonies and times of open prayer; and once a month we celebrate the Lord's Supper. Thu 09:30 Fernwood Toddlers group
A friendly, informal environment for pre-school children and their parents / carers to play, chat and make new friends. If you have a baby or pre-school child, why not come along, we would love to meet you. Songs & story time too. Refreshments available. (1 pound / family) Thu 19:45 Prayer meeting
Bi-weekly prayer meeting (normally on 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month). We meet in someone's home to pray together, usually with a song or two and a brief devotion. Thu 19:45 Home Groups
Bi-weekly small group Bible study and fellowship meetings. Normally on 2nd an 4th Thursday each month. Meeting in different homes. Please contact us if you'd like to join!
