What We Believe

God’s love

That it’s an unconditional love, full of transforming power

Bible

The Bible is the most important book ever written, packed with life- saving truth and common sense wisdom for everyday living today. It’s for everyone from ordinary individuals struggling to cope, to leaders of nations wrestling with issues of justice and ethics. For us, the Bible has the last say.

Holy Spirit

Christianity is not a religion. It’s a relationship with God who is alive today. Jesus Christ promised a gift to those who those who have invited God to be King of their lives. His gift is the Holy Spirit, who guides, comforts, counsels encourages and empowers us. With the Spirit of God in our hearts, our relationship with God is alive vibrant, full of joy, and full of hope.

The Church

CCK is a diverse group of people who have discovered that God is real – and can be met today. We’re devoted to building an engaged, passionate, spiritually healthy local church. A place where love and faith change things.

Community – it’s a gift from God

We were created to live and walk deeply with one another. To find comfort, purpose and belonging. To feel more alive.

Transformation – it’s normal

Or should be. As we journey together, we can learn. And heal. And share the experience.

Growth

God wants his people to grow. Our desire is that believers enjoy the grace of God, understanding that He has forgiven and accepted them solely because of what Jesus has done for them on the cross. People who are certain of eternal life, getting to know Jesus better everyday, experiencing His guidance, living for His glory, enjoying their involvement in His church and keen to reach others with the good news of the gospel.

Worship

Mankind was created to worship God. The worship of God is our most important reason for living. Worship means giving God full credit for every amazing thing that he is, and every wonderful thing that he has done. Worship involves our whole being, whether in song and prayer on Sunday, or in our attitudes to others in the workplace on Monday.

Mission

To join the church is to join an army of people who are committed to sharing every good thing they have received from God with the people around them. The mercy and kindness of God to his people is just too good to keep to ourselves! Showing and telling people the amazing truth about Jesus Christ to people who do not yet know God is one of the highest priorities of the church.

Nations

God wants a family for himself, drawn from every nation in the world. One of the main tasks of the church is to join with God in making sure that every people group in the world learns about the mercy, grace, kindness and goodness of God, shown through the life, death and resurrection of his Son Jesus Christ.

We believe in:

You

Whoever you are, you’re not just a face in a crowd; we believe that you are already known and loved by God. We would love you to experience that God is good, and know that He wants each of us, no matter what our background, to live life to the full - a vibrant, inspired, full-of-joy-and-hope kind of life.

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm welcome particularly from our Welcome Team who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go.

Sunday is special because it’s the main opportunity in the week for the whole church family to gather, worship God, enjoy his manifest presence together, minister to one-another, receive encouragement and exhortation from God’s word and be refreshed by God’s Spirit and one-another’s friendship and support.

There will be approximately 45 mins of singing with opportunity for church members to pray, prophesy or read a passage from the bible. After the notices there will be a preach, we take time to understand the bible’s message and how this can teach us about God, about ourselves, about the world that we live in and about what authentic Christian lifestyle looks like in practice. At the end of the preach there is always a chance to respond.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are served after the service where there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

 

What happens to the kids at church?

As a family church we are thrilled to have people of all ages involved in our Sunday morning meetings. Typically, after worshiping together for 30 minutes or so, the children and young people will leave for their own activities.

We have a fantastic programme for the kids at the Church for ages 0–14. Children stay with their parents at the start of the service as we worship (sing songs!) together for the first part of the morning. Someone will announce when the children need to go to their programme.

For more information about what happens in the children's work please visit the relevant age groups for you under church life.

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

 

Will I have to join in?
