About Us

Welcome to Great Meeting

Simply put, we are a body of people who love Jesus, seek to worship God, and preach the good news of God.

​

Our services are a blend of contemporary and traditional. Once in a while we also have 'Café Church' in the Ansell Centre.

WHAT WE DO

SUNDAY WORSHIP

We gather together every Sunday at 10:30 am in the Church building (with activities for the children or Junior Church). Our services are also livestreamed if you can't make it in person.

Morning Read

Weekly and monthly groups include prayer, coffee and chat, Bible studies.

​

If you want to find out more about the Christian faith, we also occasionally run Alpha courses.

​

We support several charities, including the local food bank, FIND, and the national URC charity Christian Aid. We select two other charities to support annually.

In addition to Junior Church on Sunday mornings, we previously ran Messy Church and hope to reinstate it in the future. We also host the occasional All-Age service.

​

We have links to the URC Youth CYDO and attend SYNOD events, including Eastern Synod's Big Day Out, and Youth-Only events run by our CYDO.
