OUR WORSHIP
Family Worship begins at 11:00am and usually lasts about an hour.
Most services use projection software and sound system and include our resident singing group.
Baptisms/infant dedications as well as regular Parade Services are often integrated into the morning service.
Holy Communion is celebrated on the 3rd Sunday morning. Everyone who loves the Lord Jesus is welcome to share with us, whether a member of the Temple Church or not.
Our young people also share in the first part of the morning service, leaving for Junior Church at about 11.20 am.
We also offer a Creche area/service for under 3’s which they can enjoy during the church service (Of course, this is not compulsory).
