Alpha

Alpha

You’re invited!

We are running a new Alpha course ONLINE  probably on a Thursday evening from 7.30pm using Zoom. Alpha is an opportunity to explore life and the Christian faith in a friendly, open and informal environment. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you are interested.

On Sundays we meet at the Mead Primary School at 10.30 am for worship, prayer, Bible teaching and ministry.

All services have a relaxed atmosphere with tea/coffee and biscuits after the service (though sometimes before) and a chance to catch up with friends or welcome newcomers. Whilst we are committed to always being flexible and responsive to the Holy Spirit in our services, we seek to plan our services to achieve a balance of activities that support the spiritual growth of our church family.

See below for more details of the different kinds of services.

Life Groups are our small groups that meet weekly, giving the opportunity to build friendships, share experiences and explore more about our faith.

Each week varies according to the needs of the people in the group, but activities can include worship, prayer and learning together from the Bible to see how our faith is worked out in practice. These groups also provide an opportunity for enjoying time together socially and encouraging one another on life’s journey.

There are currently two groups meeting in homes, one on a Monday and one on a Thursday evening, but it is possible a daytime group may be planned in the future.

Whether getting together as a church family or serving the local community, there are many opportunities for other activities in the life of the church.

Groups for children and young people meet on a monthly basis – see Children and Teens

In summer we enjoy time away together at the New Wine Christian festival.

As part of the wider Trowbridge church community and getting involved in activities like joint services and toddler groups.

Alpha Courses run in local homes for those wanting to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed and informal environment

Supporting the families, schools and communities of Paxcroft Mead and Castle Mead – see Community 

Services

Service of the Word

Worship, prayer and Bible teaching for all, with separate children’s groups after the first half-hour, leaving the adults to continue in worship, prayer and Bible teaching.

Communion

An informal family communion service in which the whole church family joins together in liturgy that helps us celebrate the Lord’s Supper together. After this time the children leave for their groups and adults continue in worship, prayer and Bible teaching.

Family Service

A worship and teaching time suitable for all ages in which we seek to engage everyone in participative activities that help us worship and learn together.

Youth Service

A service focussed on issues and questions that are particularly relevant to young people and in which we seek to engage youth in planning and taking part in the service. Younger children have their regular groups as normal.

Messy Church

An all-age service with a fun, relaxed atmosphere where we seek to worship and learn together using creative or craft activities. These services are great for building friendships and provide an opportunity to create something that can be taken home or used in church as a visual reminder of a biblical truth.
