Our services

at St. Francis & online

Every week we have people who are new to being in church, so if you are unsure what happens, you will not be the only one.

Services last about an hour, or 1 hour 15 minutes at 10:45am, with songs, prayers, Bible readings and a talk. At 10:45am there’s a creche for 0 to 3s, kids’ groups every week and youth groups every other week, except at all-age services.

The 9am is quieter, more formal and has communion (bread and wine) every week.
The 1045am is more relaxed and noisier, with communion once a month!
The 4pm is relaxed and a bit smaller. Stay afterwards for free hot dogs.

Different people worship in different ways, so please feel free to try out a few services to see which one suits you better.

Can’t make it in person? Watch a recording of the talk from our 9am service on Facebook and YouTube, every Sunday at 6pm.

We’ve got a variety of church services at St. Francis

Some of them don’t even require stepping inside a building! You can come to church or check us out online on a Sunday, depending on which services works best for you.

+ Traditional Service | Sunday mornings | 9:00am

A quiet traditional communion service (with bread and wine) using Church of England liturgy (wording) to worship God. The minister will be robed and there will be a couple of traditional hymns, prayers, bible reading and a sermon.

There is no dress code and if you find a more traditional service style more helpful we'd love you to join us.

+ Modern SERVICE | Sundays | 10:45am

In person service including a game, prayers, bible reading, songs, a talk. It's very relaxed with lots of children there - we would rather the noise and life of the nursery than the orderliness and quietness of a graveyard !

There is no dress code and there are many people who come who are very new to being in church - you will not be the only person new to this stuff !

+ Modern SERVICE | Sundays | 4pm

In person service for all ages similar in style to the 10:45am service but a bit smaller!

There is no dress code and there are many people who come who are very new to being in church - you will not be the only person new to this stuff !

+ Connect Groups

We have midweek small groups called Connect Groups. These are a great way to help you belong at St Francis, to really get to know people and also to grow in your faith. They meet in local homes or in the church building.
