Sundays
There are loads of reasons you might want to 'come to church'.
Perhaps you are moving to Chipping Norton and want to find a church family to join?
Maybe you are exploring what Christianity is about or looking for some answers?
Perhaps you used to go to church? Maybe you feel there must be more?
Perhaps it’s just about trying to refocus, prioritise and find purpose?
Whatever your reason and whoever you are, you are welcome to join with us on a Sunday Morning.
In the Bible we read about how God's people are the church. So we never really 'go' to church. As followers of Jesus together, we are The Church. On Sundays, and at lots of other times during the week, we gather together as church family, either all together or in smaller groups. That's why 'come to church' is in inverted commas. It's a small detail but it changes the way we live! We also meet together with and work together with other churches in our town. We are part of the Salt & Light Advance family of churches.
PLEASE CHECK THE DIARY FOR INFORMATION ABOUT GATHERINGS EACH WEEK OR GET IN TOUCH TO FIND OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING EACH WEEK.
See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!
1 John 3:1a (The NIV Bible)
What to expect on a Sunday morning
Normally, we start to arrive at The Town Hall between 10:15 and 10:30 to catch up with each other. Our set up teams will have been there much earlier and there is a prayer gathering at 10. So don’t worry if you arrive a bit earlier. Our service starts at 10:30. Occasionally we meet somewhere else in Chipping Norton, but this will be reflected on our diary.
10:30am
There is usually plenty of parking by the Town Hall on Sunday mornings. If not there are long stay car parks on Albion Street and New Street.

Sometimes wondering what to wear is an issue when we go somewhere new … don’t worry – we just wear normal clothes, we don’t dress up super smart or anything… we come as we are! Most people will just be in casual or smart-casual clothes.
what to wear!
During the service we will sing, we will pray, we will read passages from the Bible, people will share things that they think God is saying to us, someone will preach. Most Sundays there will also be sessions for the children and young people.
If there is ever anything you don’t understand please feel free to ask the person sitting next to you or someone from the team leading the service at the end of the meeting. And if there is anything you don’t feel comfortable with – please feel free not to join in.
what happens?
Our service usually finishes around 12:15 and there are always people happy to chat to you and pray with you after the service. But do feel free just to leave if you would rather. We always finish with tea and coffee.
We hope you are able to join with us one Sunday it would be lovely to meet you.
