You are Welcome...
The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.
We meet for Worship at the Oakridge Baptist Church building on the corner of Oakridge/Jubilee Roads (details here). The main entrance is up some steps but if you need level access then please use the side door in Oakridge Road.
Our Service starts at 10:30am and finishes at about 11.45am; we serve tea, coffee and biscuits afterwards and it's is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.
Following a warm welcome and prayer from one of our Leadership Team members, the service opens with songs led by our music group. Sometimes a person might pray out loud, read a small passage from the Bible or share things that they believe God is saying to the whole Church family. This might seem strange the first time you hear it but it’s all part of our connecting with God. One of our speakers will then give a sermon that is Bible based and that we can apply to our everyday life. We finish with a final worship song following which we share news and notices, usually about what’s going on in the life of the Church.
On the 3rd Sunday of each month the service will include 'Communion' or the ‘Lord’s Supper’ which is an act of worship that involves eating bread and drinking non-alcoholic wine (red grape juice). More about this here
Children are always welcome to stay in the service with parents/carers but we also have Bible based 'Junior Church' activities available for children which vary from week to week. On the second Sunday of each month, we have an 'All-Age' family service where children remain in the service.
We run a series of Bible study groups for the growth of faith and discipleship; these are held at the Church and via Zoom. Further details here or speak to a member of the Leadership Team
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. Further details can be obtained from a member of the Leadership Team
