Messy Church is a form of church for children and adults that involves creativity, celebration and hospitality. It's primarily for people who don't already belong to another form of church. It meets on a Saturday afternoon at 4pm.

Common Worship

You are warmly invited to our service of Remembrance at 08:30am

Family service with children's activities

Every Sunday in term time except the first of the month which is our intergenerational (all age) service. Our young people join for the first part of our service, then move to the church centre for their own session (s). Numbers are small and the age range wide but all are welcome.

Instead of our 10:30 service we will join the Civic Service at the Hucclecote War Memorial at 11am. We gather at the Royal Oak at 10:30 for the procession.

Family Friendly Service

All adults (teenagers and above) welcome; tickets (£7) available from the church office. A fun evening in church with mulled wine and mince pies. There will be a short Christmas reflection. Come with friends and enjoy being creative.

NB: For families with children, we have two Christmas events particularly for you. Scroll down our events page for further details.
SAT. 6th DEC. 2025 at 4pm: CHRISTINGLE. Make your own Christingles in the Church Centre followed by a joyful celebration in church.
SAT 13th DEC. 2025 at 4pm: MESSY CHRISTMAS is from 4.00pm- 5.30pm, and includes tea. This is free (although donations are welcome). There will be Christmas crafts and a toddler area.

Join us to make Christingles in the church centre followed by a short but joyous and bright celebration in church. Don't miss the magical moment when we each light the candles in the centre of our very own Christingles.

This is a free event with materials provided and no booking required. But donations are welcome towards the support of our Mission Partner, Revd Helen Champion, Gloucester City Deanery Youth Connector.

Christingles are made using oranges, red ribbon, sweets and dried fruits and a candle. Each element of a Christingle has a special meaning and helps to tell the Christian story:

The orange represents the world
The red ribbon symbolises the love and blood of Christ
The sweets and dried fruit represent all of God’s creations
The lit candle represents Jesus’s light in the world, bringing hope to people living in darkness.

Monthly family friendly, interactive service. This is also the service at which we sometimes welcome children and adults in baptism.

We’d love you to join us on the first Sunday of each month from 2-4pm to have fun with board games. All ages are welcome but children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. Bring your favourite game or come and learn new ones. This event is free but donations are welcome.
