We aim to be contemporary in style, with a format which is relaxed enough for us to go with the flow of the Spirit. We place an emphasis on dynamic, vibrant, band led praise and worship, relevant bible-based preaching, and response through the application of prayer ministry.

We start our Sunday morning meetings at 10.30am with a short welcome from the meeting leader, followed by around 20 minutes of sung worship, which is led by a band. From here a passage will be read from the bible and the preacher will deliver a short talk (usually 30 mins). We move into a further time of sung worship and offer an opportunity for anyone who wants to receive prayer ministry, either in response to the talk, or for anything else.

During our morning services our Little BriX group meets. Little BriX is a group for primary school and pre-school children to learn more about Jesus, build with Lego/Duplo, sing songs and do activities.

Our usual pattern is to share Holy Communion together once a month.

Safeguarding

Our parish of Widcombe, Bath is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer (PSO). Our Diocese of Bath & Wells’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor who advises our PSO.

If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSO (see www.widcombe.church/Safeguarding) or the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (see https://www.bathandwells.org.uk/diocese/safeguarding) .

If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
