Our Midweek Holy Communion takes place every Thursday at 10:30am. It’s a gentle, reflective service with space to pray, hear God’s word, and share in Communion together. Whether you come regularly or you’re trying church for the first time, you’ll be very welcome — and we always finish with tea and coffee and time to chat.

Join us on Sundays at 9:30am for a welcoming service that blends Holy Communion and Morning Worship. Some weeks we share Communion; other weeks we focus on worship, prayer, and Bible teaching — but every service is warm, accessible, and open to everyone, whether you’re new to church or have been coming for years.

And we always finish with tea, coffee, and biscuits, with plenty of time to chat and get to know people.

Pop in on Tuesdays for free tea and coffee — an easy-going time to meet people, have a proper chat, and share life together. Everyone’s welcome.

An informal opportunity for anyone in our congregations who is wondering about a calling to licensed or authorised ministry — lay or ordained — to come and meet the Bradwell Area Vocations team. This is not a formal step on the discernment pathway, just a chance to find out more.

9.45am for a 10am start, finishing 12.30pm, at Emmanuel Church, 66-68 Laindon Road, Billericay CM12 9LD.

A service of thanksgiving and blessing for our pets, on St Francis' Day. Bring your dog, your cat, your rabbit, your budgie - whoever shares your home. If your animal would rather stay at home, bring a photograph and we will bless that instead. All creatures great and small are welcome, and their people too.

Messy Church is a relaxed, all-age way of being church — with crafts and hands-on activities, a short time of celebration and worship, and food shared together. It’s Christ-centred, welcoming, and perfect for anyone who doesn’t usually do “Sunday church”.
