A warm family-friendly gathering for people from all backgrounds. We love being a multi-generational church with babies, toddlers & teens all the way up to saints in their 90s.Β
You don't have to be a Christian to come. If you're just curious or want to explore faith at your own pace, we'd love to see you there. Scroll down for answers to some of the questions you might have about coming to church.
Our brilliant Sunday School for 4-10s runs during term-time.

A relaxed, friendly evening service for everyone. We especially want it to be a place where young adults can find community, friendship, and truth. We serve tea & coffee from 5-5.15pm and after the service there's usually food and social time. Why not come a long and try it out?

Want to know what we believe and teach and what our priorities are? Take a look here.
We welcome people at all stages of life and from all backgrounds. You don't need to be 'good' or 'churchy' person. We especially want to include young men and women. You don't have to believe all the right things to be able to come. Just come as you are.
We love having children too, the noisy ones and the quiet ones.Β
In case you're wondering what to wear, dress the way you normally do. Some people like to come to church looking smart, some come dressed casually.
Our services have a relaxed atmosphere. Everything you need to follow the service is in a pamphlet we'll give you when you arrive or is displayed on our screens. Don't worry if you arrive a bit late.
During each service we sing, pray and read the Bible. There is a down to earth talk about Jesus that connects with everyday life.
Once a month the morning service includes Holy Communion.
The 10.30am service usually lasts an hour and fifteen minutes. Most people arrive a little bit early then stay afterwards for tea and coffee.
The 5.00pm service starts with tea and coffee, and usually finishes by about 6.15pm.Β
We love having children at St Brigid's. Please don't worry if your children make some noise, they belong in church like everyone else!Β
The 10.30am service is probably best for you if you have younger children. There is a special talk just for them (unless its a Holy Communion service) as well as Sunday School for ages 4-10 (during term-time). Sunday School includes Bible stories, teaching, activities, songs and crafts.
At the back of church is a quiet area for babies who need to feed or crawl about. There are some quiet toys there as well. If you need more space, there is also a toddler play area in our lounge with an audio feed so you can still hear what's going on.Β
Children are also very welcome at our 5pm service, but there is no Sunday School.
A toilet with baby changing facilities is available.
We all come to church carrying burdens and worries and stress. You may be ill or worried or need some other kind of healing. At the 10.30am service we have a trained prayer team who are available to listen and pray with you after the service. If you would like that, all you need to do is stay in your seat when the service ends.Β
If you do,Β someone will come and say hello and ask how they can help you. You can tell them as much or as little as you like. They will ask you if you'd like them to pray for you. You can say Yes or No. If you'd rather speak to the minister, just let them know.
If you need support or someone to talk to in the evenings, you can speak to Jacob or Rob.
We usually take a collection of money during the 10.30am service. But this is for regular members. We don't expect visitiors, first-timers or guests to contribute.Β
The money we collect is used to pay the staff, pay the bills and to help fund our outreach and ministry. Some of it is also donated to other Christian organisations.
Many people prefer to make regular donations by standing order. You can find out more about financial giving here.
Everyone is invited to stay after the 10.30am service for tea and coffee in the lounge. We are very friendly and we always like to say hello to anyone who's new. But if you'd rather just go straight home that's fine too.
After the 5pm service tea, coffee, food and social time. On the third Sunday of each month we have a home-cooked meal together.
There are disabled parking bays, a ramp to the front door, and level flooring throughout the main part of the building.Β
At the 10.30am service cushions are available and there is a hearing loop system (set hearing aids to T position).
There is also a disabled toilet.
We have plenty of parking spaces right outside to the church, including 4 disabled bays.Β
