New here?
You're so
welcome here
Here's everything a first visit looks like — no pressure, no spotlight, and someone to walk you in if you'd like that.
Your first Sunday
Come as
you are
Every Sunday at 11am, and there's always someone at the door looking out for new faces. You don't need to believe anything, know anyone, or have it all together — you'll be welcomed as you are.
Someone will meet you at the door — say you're new and we'll walk in with you and find you a seat.
About 90 minutes
Singing, a talk from the Bible, prayer, and coffee afterwards for anyone who wants to stay.
Wear whatever you like
Jeans, trainers, a suit if you fancy it. Nobody is checking.
Free parking on site
There's parking at Roding Valley High School, and Loughton tube is a short walk away.
Kids are very welcome
Children stay with you at the start, then have their own time with our youth and family team.
No pressure, no follow-up emails — just a friendly face who knows you're coming.

Last Sunday of the month we don't meet at the school — we meet in homes for house church.
What a first
Sunday looks like
No pressure, no spotlight. You can sit at the back and just watch — plenty of people do on their first visit. You don't need to believe anything to come.
Still got a question? Ask us anything before you come — we'd rather you arrived knowing what to expect.
Study the Bible with us
We would love to study out the scriptures with you and help guide you as you seek to know Jesus. If you're reading the Bible for the first time or the thousandth time, we want to be a safe place for asking questions.
Watch online
Watch the latest service
Every Sunday is streamed live — here's the most recent one, so you can get a feel for a Sunday before you come.
Belonging, in their words
We're gathering stories from people in our church family — how they found us, and what life together has meant. They'll appear here, in their own words, once they've said we may share them.
Not sure where to start?
Tell us what you're interested in and when you're free, and we'll suggest upcoming events and ways to connect.
