Planning your Visit

Sunday Services

The Peace Ceanna and little sister

Our Holy Communion service starts every Sunday at 10:00am. It helps to arrive 10-15 minutes early to get a parking spot and a seat in time for the service to start.

We meet at:
Ventnor Avenue
Stanmore
Middx
HA7 2HU

There is parking available on the site or in the roads around the church.

You can expect a warm welcome; great worship; relevant preaching based in the Word of God and a friendly group of people ready to learn more about what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
Children are just as much a part of the church family and our worship as the adults and are more than welcome. There is a play area for younger children and break out areas for older children like Abraham's Tent.

Sunday School is once a month and you will need to go with your children to their groups and register them as part of our child safety policy.

For more information about what happens in the children's work please visit the Children's Ministry page.

After the main meeting finishes there will an be opportunity for prayer if needed as well as refreshments and time to catch up with fellow brothers and sisters.

Come and join us!
