What's on

Sunday Worship

Every Sunday at for 1 hour
The House of Hope, Thornley
9-10 Greenwood Cottages Thornley, DH6 3HF, United Kingdom

Our Sunday services are designed to be welcoming, relaxed, thought-provoking and inclusive - with refreshments before and after, and plenty of spaces and corners to sit, if this is your first time and you're a bit uncertain. We recognise how hard it can be to enter a new church - so be assured of a warm welcome, no pressure to join in, and a hot cuppa!

We have a family-focused 'Creative Praise' on the 1st Sunday of each month, and Holy Communion (by Extension) on the last Sunday.
