Lighthouse Sunday School Programme
10:30am during Sunday service in term time. Lighthouse has four age-based groups ranging from 18 months to intermediate, led by supervisors who are supported by volunteers.
We aim to introduce children to God in our Sunday morning sessions while demonstrating what it looks like to be a community dedicated to him. We look forward to you coming for a look around, having questions answered by our dedicated team and taking part when you are ready- we look forward to meeting you!

We sit down together about half way through the session to discuss the bible and talk through any questions that come up. Then we get back to a few more games and have a yummy shared supper to finish, we encourage everyone to bring a plate if they can.

Small Groups
If you’re looking to get connected at church, then you might like to join one of our Small Groups.
We read and discuss the bible together, pray for each other and spend time in fellowship with each other.
Being part of a smaller group is a great way to get to know others on a deeper level, share our lives, and encourage and support each other as we follow Jesus.
See what groups are running on our Regular Events page.
