A Warm Hello
The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.
Where and When
We meet at the Church Building (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 10:30am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team.
We serve tea, coffee and biscuits from 10am, before the service begins. It is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.
Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There are disabled toilets on the right in the main foyer.
Our Service
The main service begins at 10.30am with a warm welcome from one of our team. We then share news and notices, usually about what’s going on in the life of the church. Then follows a time of sung worship, led by our musicians. We typically have 2 or 3 songs lasting approximately 10-15 minutes. We will have a Bible Reading, prayers and a space we can all reflect together before our young people leave for their groups. On the first Sunday we share communion together and everyone is invited to this and is explained fully each time.
One of our leaders will then give a sermon that is bible based and that we can apply to our everyday life. We then finish with a final worship song. Sometimes there is an opportunity to receive prayer at the end of the service.
What about my kids?
Ignite is the overall name of our children and youth groups that run on a Sunday morning.
The children and young people join the main service for the first section of worship and the All Age slot, before heading over to the church hall (located behind the main church) for their groups. On the first Sunday of every month, communion takes place at the start of the church service, so our children and young people can join in communion with their family if they wish to.
Each member of the children and youth team has been DBS checked and receives regular safeguarding training. For further information, contact Heather(our Children’s and Youth Worker) at worcbaptistyouth@gmail.com
Ignite consists of three groups:
Sparks (Babies and Preschoolers)
Flames (Reception - Year 5)
Blaze (Year 6+)
Children stay with their parent or grown-up at the start of the service for the welcome, songs and notices. We really value worshipping God all together as a family. At the end of the notices someone will announce that it’s time for the younger members to go to their various groups.
The group activities vary depending on the age but usually there is a friendly welcome, bible stories, testimonies, praying, music, craft, drama, fun games and free play. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes.
Getting Connected
Small Groups
While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We are in the process of putting these together and aim to start one in the north of the city, one at church and one on Zoom during Advent 2026.

If you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team.
