St Ebbe's Church

Main Meetings:

Sun 10:00 Morning Service
From the very young to the not-quite-so-young and those anywhere in between, the 10am includes the broadest cross-section of our church family. A crèche and childrens clubs are run. Sun 16:00 City Service
The City Service is less formal and more accessible to those who may not be used to church. The service particularly aims to reach people from the parish and city centre but all are welcome. There is a creche at the back of the church and children’s clubs for 0-11 year-olds that run during the service. Refreshments are served before the service and everyone is invited to stay for a family meal Sun 18:30 Evening Service
The 6:30pm congregation attracts those in their 20s and 30s, youth, students, internationals and the not-so-young. Everyone is welcome and we would love you to stay on for tea and coffee afterwards. There are fortnightly meals during term time to help build community. We regularly have visitors and guests, including those who are exploring Christianity.
