Our Sunday Morning service is held on Chapel Lane in Great Blakenham at 10.45am every Sunday, where you can expect a warm welcome, Bible-based teaching, Sunday School & Creche. The Gospel is central and our services include reading the Bible, praying, worshipping God through song, and a sermon. Please join us for refreshments after the service.

We also have an all-age-service usually on the 3rd Sunday morning of the month - there is no Sunday school or organised crèche as the children stay in for the whole service. This usually includes a quiz, memory verse & interactive story.

We usually have communion on the first Sunday of the month (this takes place during the morning service). We welcome all who have trusted the Lord as their own personal saviour to our Communion meeting. It is a simple service of remembrance of what Jesus did for us by dying for us on the cross and being raised to life again the third day.

We have an evening Service we meet at Mickfield Evangelical Church at 6.30pm. For directions, see above. All are very welcome to join us. For more information, visit their website at https://mickfieldec.co.uk/.

Leadership

What We Believe

Mission Statement - "joyfully glorifying God : lovingly sharing Jesus".

We believe the staggering, life-changing good news that Jesus Christ is the King of the universe, and though we have failed in our lives, fallen from grace, and fought against him, he has entered our lives, brought forgiveness for all wrongs, pardoned all our offences and made us part of his family.

To see the full statement of beliefs, see the link below. (Link opens to separate page.)

Missionaries

"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." MATTHEW 28:19-20

As a Church we support 6 missionaries/organisations both financially (or through donating items) and through prayer support. This is one of the ways we tell the Good News to "all nations" as Jesus commanded. Please join us in praying for these Christian missions, whether they are going to the unreached world, providing relief, or education (abroad and at home), that they are able to proclaim the Good News effectively in their situation.
