Sundays

Children and young people are welcome at all our services. At our 11.15 service children aged 3-14 are invited to head out to children’s groups during the service where they get to hear about Jesus and the bible in age appropriate ways. Younger children and babies are welcome to remain in the church, but if parents want a bit more space there is an unstaffed creche area at the back of church with toys and space to change and feed your baby. Our older teenagers meet after the evening service to hang out, read the bible and speak about issue facing them. For more details about the children and young people’s work see both on Sunday and in the week see our page on youth and children’s work.

Worshipping God, in-person and online, is the heart of what we do at St Barnabas. Everyone is welcome. We’d love you to join us to worship God together! On Sunday, we meet in church at 9.30 am, 11.15 am and at 6.30 pm. In our worship we study the Bible, we pray, we break bread (communion) and enjoy Christian community.

- 9.30 am a mix of traditional and contemporary worship
- 11.15 am with music from our worship band. This is the service where our children’s groups run.
- 6.30 pm more informal, band-led worship

You can worship online via our YouTube channel or at the bottom of this page and you can also hear our service on the phone from Sunday evening each week by calling 01642 130011. Calls cost whatever you pay for a local call.

Also, in the middle of the week, you are welcome to join us for a simple service of communion, every Wednesday at 9.30 am.

St Barnabas welcomes many students and young adults both through our Sunday services and during the week. Meetings are held every Wednesday from 7.30pm at the Meeting House at 20 King Edward’s Square on the university campus and student lunches are held monthly on Sundays.

If you are new or resident to the area, we would love to meet you
