What happens at Church

What to expect at Church?

Church activities are very much returning to near normal.  Sunday’s do still look a bit different!

You can now join the 10:30 am Sunday morning services in one of two ways (do sign up to be sent regular emails of our activities)

1. In the church building

 2. Via YouTube

At 6:00 pm the church meets together for a prayer meeting in the church hall and over Zoom.  We also meet during the week for Bible study and prayer in local small groups in the community that we call ‘Growth Groups’.

If you do join us in the church there is no dress code and everyone of all ages is very welcome!  You don’t need to be a Christian to join our services.  If you do have questions about Christianity then coming to a service and talking to people is a great way to find out more.

Our services are designed to include everyone, and you’ll find teaching for people of all ages.

The emphasis is on coming together in collective worship to glorify God in praise, in prayer, and by listening to him speak to us through the Bible, which is explained in talks.

We love to read the Bible and pray. During our Bible talks, God’s Word is explained and applied in clear and simple terms. Part of our time together is spent in prayer, and we love to hear what God is doing in people’s lives and around the world.

Children are an important part of our community. Junior church are on Sunday mornings.  Please contact us for full details of our Junior Church program. Read more information about Junior Church.

For older children and young people, guide-sheets are provided to help them follow the main teaching (these are emailed out for those not able to get out to church).

People often worry that they will be asked for money when they come to church.  At Calne Free Church we do not pass a collection box around the church during the service.  For those who attend regularly, there are static collection boxes at the church entrance.  Regular attendees can find out more about supporting the church financially here.

Before Covid after our Sunday services, most of us would stay for coffee and conversation – catching up with people we know and getting to know people who are new to us. This is always an opportunity to meet new people at Calne Free.  Currently, we cannot meet in this way but do look forward to the days when this can restart!

On a regular basis, we share lunch together on a Sunday (sadly not happening at the moment due to COVID-19).

Please do join us this Sunday at 10:30 am. You’ll be made very welcome, and we’d love to get to know you.
