    You will be very welcome to pay us a visit on a Sunday, or at other times. If you would like to join in any of our social events or activities, we will be pleased to see you.
    Our Chapel is open at various times for personal use. If you need a quiet place  to pray you are welcome to come along.
    If you are thinking of coming to a Sunday service, the 'New to Church' page will give you an idea of what to expect here.  
    The SBC 'family' is not a big crowd and our buildings are not large. We do, however, make a big impact for our size. We are a group of ordinary folk from various backgrounds, who enjoy being part of God's family here and aim to share His love in our community and beyond.
    We would love to make more friends and see our community grow.

Planning your Visit

See you Sunday?

It can be daunting going to a church for the first time. There is great variety in the way Christians worship.
We are more relaxed and less formal than many, but we try not to be casual and thoughtless.
 
We hope the following information will give you an idea of what to expect if you join us on a Sunday morning.

Where and when?

We meet each week in our Chapel for a service starting at 10:30am.
This usually ends between 11.30am and noon.
On the first Sunday of the month, we share Communion together.

For any first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early.

Car parking at the Chapel is limited but there are two, free, public car parks not far away along Yorktown Road.
In one direction there are spaces beside the Library and in the other, beside the Memorial Park. 

There is wheelchair access to both the Chapel and the Hall. 
There is an accessible toilet in the Chapel Hall.

What?

On arrival one of our welcomers will greet you and help you find a seat.
There will be time to meet other folk before the service begins, but if you would rather sit quietly, please feel free to do so.

After the service we serve tea, coffee and biscuits in our Hall.  This is the building behind the Chapel.
Sharing refreshments is a great way to meet people, or simply to take time to find your bearings.
Refreshments are free.

What happens in the service?

The service begins with a welcome and some notices.
There follows a time of songs, readings and prayers.
The words for songs and other items, are displayed by data projector.

There is usually a talk (sermon) that explores a passage or idea taken from the Bible 

At some point  during the service a collection will be made.
Many members of our congregation give to the church directly by the banking system.
Others still like to give cash.
Don't feel you must contribute, or feel embarrassed to let the collection bag pass by.
 
Children can stay with their parent or a grown-up throughout the service. 
We value worshipping God all together as a family. 

On Communion Sundays, we enact in a very simple way, the Last Supper that Jesus shared with His disciples.
As we remember what took place and what it all meant, small pieces of bread and little cups of grape juice are offered to all.
You do not have to take part.
Please feel free to let the elements pass by.
We hope just being there will be helpful to you.
