Services

11:00am Morning Worship

Worship at St John’s is relaxed, welcoming, and centred on God’s word. Our main Sunday service at 11am includes a mix of modern worship songs and well-loved hymns, led by a blend of live music and digital support. We keep things fairly informal, but structured. We have a busy Kid’s Church each week during the service which is great for primary school aged children.

8:30am BCP Traditional Communion

Once a month, we also hold a quieter 8:30am BCP (Traditional) Communion service, offering space for reflection and tradition.
