A Warm Hello 

The following information is designed specifically if you are new to our church and planning on visiting us on a Sunday.
It aims to give you some familiarity as to know roughly what you might expect before experiencing it. Although our friendly stewards and congregation members will be happy to help you out should you need anything. 

Where and When

We meet in the first Church Building you see as you turn up the drive for our Sunday Service which starts at 10am. You could arrive 10-15 minutes before the service begins to help us to find and say hello to you. 
We have onsite car parking but there is also plenty of road space to park in too should you prefer. 
As you walk into the church building you will usually be greeted by a steward. They welcome you and will offer you any books or other things that can be used during the service.  

Junior Church also meet in the main church participating in the first part of the service with the congregation, after which they go into the hall for their worship.
 
We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the service in the Church Hall. It is a great way to meet people. All refreshments are free, with any donations appreciated for our chosen charities for the year.

There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Stewards know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There are disabled toilets in the foyer entrance for the Main Hall.

You can find our 'Welcome Pack' in church to find out further activities our church has to offer! It looks like this:

At Durrington Community Centre Church we meet periodically on Sundays at 10.45am so please check the service schedule (here on the website, at Goring Methodist Church, or email goringmethodist@gmail.com for up to date information).

The Community Centre is at 2 Romany Road, Durrington, BN13 3FJ and for our church service we use Room 1 and have the use of Room 3 as a vestry room for prayer. 

The Centre is accessible, through the front entrance door, for wheelchair and disabled use and has toilet facilities, together with a disabled toilet.  We  currently are not serving refreshments after our services but a welcome is extended if you are visiting, or not been to our church before, please make yourself known to us and stay for a chat afterwards. 

There is plenty of parking within the Tesco Complex Car Park including Disabled Bays. Public Transport is by way of The Pulse or Number 5 buses which stop in Romany Road adjacent to the Centre. 
 

Our Services

At both Churches the main service begins with a warm welcome. We then proceed with a variety of hymns and worship songs, prayers and bible readings.   The preacher will  give a sermon that is bible based and that we can apply to our everyday life. 




Junior Church (Our Sunday school) 

If you come with children then you can stay in the service throughout if you choose to do so. However, on the 1st, 2nd and 5th Sundays each month we do have a 'Junior Church' scheduled to meet together. 

The Junior Church meet at 10am in the service along with the rest of the church, and then after a short period all together they break off into the Church Hall for a separate time of fun and learning. 

Parents and guardians are most welcome to attend the Junior Church session along with their child/children if they wish, but there are also families whose normal is for the adults to stay in the service while their children head to the group.  

After the service, the congregation tend to drift into the Church Hall to get their refreshments - where the children will be finishing their own activities and are also able to enjoy the refreshments.  

Getting Connected

Gatherings and fellowships

While Sundays are a great way to meet with God and with people, it is often in smaller gatherings that we can feel most comfortable. Being a part of one of our small groups could enable you to make some new good friends who not only share life together, but also support each other through life. 

We have some groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out our Small Groups and see if there is one that suits you.
If you contact us directly then we may be able to help you decide where you may feel most comfortable.
