If no-one else has said it yet, Welcome to Emmanuel!
​
Whether you come as an enquirer into the faith or are looking to settle here, you will find friendship, opportunity to deepen your understanding of the faith, inspiration in worship and support in discovering and using your gifts.
our
services
On Sundays we try to provide as much variety in worship as possible. The uniting factors are encounter with the Lord through his Word, prayerful response, vibrant praise and thanksgiving in sung worship and close fellowship.
​
Our Sunday services are:
​
8.00am Holy Communion
For a short traditional Book of Common Prayer service lasting just over the half hour.
​
10.30am is our Main Service
A service of the Word or Holy Communion, with age-appropriate groups for young people from 0-17.
​
6.30pm Evening Worship
Less liturgy, more time for the sermon, sung worship, prayer and reflection.
​
​
Our Wednesday service is:
​
10.30am Holy Communion
An oasis in the middle of the week to keep the week focussed and for fellowship over refreshments afterwards.

What is Christianity?​
We frequently run a variety of courses to do with the Christian faith. In particular there are always regular opportunities to join a 'Christianity Explored' course. This is for enquirers who know little or nothing about Christianity; or those who want to brush up on the basics of their faith; or those who want to come with an enquiring friend.

Welcome Suppers
Every 2-3 months, we hold buffet suppers to which we invite the latest new faces at Emmanuel. They are an opportunity to get to know a few members of the leadership team, the congregation and some fellow newcomers. Also to hear a little more detail about Emmanuel's vision, ministry and family life.
​
Electoral Roll
If you are looking to put your feet down at Emmanuel and make it your home, we encourage you to join the 'Electoral Roll' (though you don't have to!). Do ask one of the leaders after the service.
