Welcome friends old and new. We hope you’ll find in Castle Hill a warm and welcoming community who love Jesus and want to gather, in whatever form, to worship Him and spend time with one another. We use the language of family about ourselves as we think this best reflects the way we try to be — seeking to create an environment where we are considerate of one another (even when that’s not our preference!)
On Sundays, our church building is open from 10am for gathered worship (starting at 10:30am). We also stream these gatherings live on Zoom and make them available on YouTube as soon as we can after.
Families are very welcome — we have groups for all ages of children and young people and encourage all to use their gifts in worship, as they feel able.
One Sunday every two months we also gather at 4pm for Dwell — a more intimate, interactive and reflective time of worship, prayer and waiting on the Spirit. You can find the next one on our calendar of events.
NB Over Christmas/Summer holidays our children and young people’s groups stop to give our leaders a well-earned break! Children are still welcome to worship.
On the first Sunday of the month we hold a time of worship all together — we feel it’s important to have times when we don’t split off into groups around the building so we can learn from one another.
On the third Sunday we celebrate communion — all who seek to follow Jesus are welcome to take part (alcohol-free wine; gluten-free bread).
