Services
Our churches welcome those of all ages, all backgrounds, and those of any faith or none.No matter where you live, we would therefore love you to join us at whichever service best suits you.
Main Services
- Nutley Church meets at 9.15am and the service is followed by refreshments. This service is more traditional with a choir. Children attend the first part of the service before leaving to their Sunday School groups. A play-mat and toys can be found at the back of the church so that parents that wish to can have their babies and toddlers in the service with them.
- Maresfield Church meets for refreshments in Maresfield village hall from 10.30am, where a play area is set-aside for children. Children then remain in the village hall for Kids Club at 11.15am when adults attend the church. This service is less formal and seeks to be particularly accessible to those unused to church. A play-mat and toys can be found at the back of the church so that parents that wish to can have their babies and toddlers in the service with them.
- Children's Church takes place on the first Sunday of every month. These services are a favourite with families, particularly informal, and include children's songs, prayers, and a talk that is all accessible to little ones. They take place at 10.30am in Nutley and 11.15am in Maresfield. Do join us.

The ethos behind our services
We encourage those within our church families to prioritise Sunday morning services as the place where we all gather together, no matter what our age or background. In these services, we purposely include classic hymns that newcomers will know and more contemporary hymns or songs that regulars appreciate. Yet in coming we gladly put aside our personal preferences of service style, for the greater benefit of being together, serving, encouraging and learning from one-another in all our diversity, and so being a true and visible reflection of God's kingdom in our particular area.
However we do seek to enjoy and express our diversity too. For this reason our two main services do have different flavours so that you can make your home at the church that best suits you. Moreover we supplement our Sunday mornings with the other services mentined above, that will prove edifying to the different types amongst us.
