Sunday Services
We meet at 11:00am and 6:30pm. Each service will be led by one of the men of the church and the sermon will be given either by one of our own men or by a visiting speaker. The morning is a Family Service and would include a children’s slot. The children are able to leave for Sunday School (which we call Sunday’s Cool) during the service. People are welcome to stay for refreshments after the Family Service. The evening is specifically for Christians and incorporates the ‘Lord’s Table’ and Bible teaching. Throughout the year we will aim to look at different series. In 2007 we looked at Joshua, an overview of the Minor Prophets and Ephesians. Currently, in 2008, we are considering 1 Thessalonians.
Sunday’s Cool
Started in January 2006, Sunday’s Cool takes place – primarily for primary school aged children – during the morning service. We use ‘Go Teach’ material and all teachers (as with all our youth work) are CRB checked. Child safety is important to us.
Friends and Neighbours
A bridge-building meeting for women, Friends and Neighbours happens the 1st Tuesday of each month. Usually a visiting speaker comes and shares their interesting story or some work they are involved in. We have had subjects including cookery, travel, guide dogs, exercise, health and Victorian letters.
Midweek Bible Study / Prayer Meetings
Each week (Wednesdays 7:45pm) we meet in the home of a church member. We alternate between discussional Bible studies and prayer times for the missionaries we support. Both meetings would include prayer time for various aspects of the church. Once a quarter we meet up with other Bible believing churches in the locality for Bible ministry and once a quarter we have a prayer day (meeting first thing in the morning, late morning and in the evening).

Finders Keepers (reception – year 6)
Finders Keepers takes place in the 1st Clevedon Scout Hall at 5:30pm on Wednesdays (during term time). There is a combination of quizzes, songs, truth spots, Bible memory challenges, stories, craft, a prize shop – all presented in a lively way. The pictures show some of the themes that have been used to teach Bible truths. It has been known for some of the helpers to dress up as different characters (eg cowboy, judge, doctor) to help teach gospel truths!!
S.Qu.A.T. (school years 7+)
S.Qu.A.T. (Stop Question And Think) meets fortnightly on a Friday evening and is for young people in years 7 and above. A whole range of activities are organised (skittles, cooking, console games, treasure hunts) fill the programme but the evening always concludes with an explanation of the Christian faith. In 2008, the group is going through the youth edition of Christianity explored.
