Welcome, we’re so glad you’re here!
Our church family gathers from across the city on Sunday mornings at Graiseley Family Hub in Blakenhall (Pool St, Wolverhampton WV2 4NE – across from the park) and we’d love to have you join us!
If this is your first time visiting a church, we know it can be a strange experience! In fact, many of us were once ‘first-timers’ as well, so we get it. That’s why we’ve tried to describe a little bit about how to find us and what to expect when you come for the first time. If you have any further questions, want speak with someone prior to joining a Sunday gathering, or just want to let us know you’re coming, please fill out the form at the bottom and we’ll respond within a day or two. You can also have a look at previous sermons over on our Sermon Archive page.
1. What to Expect:
Sunday mornings start at 10am. However, there are always several families who arrive early to set up chairs, organise the tea & coffee, connect the PA system, and prepare Sunday School for children. Normally by 10am, setup is complete and you’re likely to hear chatting and laughing until about 10:30am. If you arrive early, you’ll most certainly receive a warm welcome and a hot drink! The Bible says the church is like a family, so we try to act like it in the best sense of the term: informal, warm, and welcoming. Come just as you are and find a family who will love and accept you.
Usually around 10am, we’ll begin a more focused time of worship. This usually involves singing songs of worship together with lyrics projected on a screen and accompanied by an acoustic guitar, piano, and percussion. Just like at a football match, singing is an incredibly human way of expressing our emotions and praise to God.
This is usually followed by a time of prayer in small groups. Praying out loud is not required, but we believe that God is our heavenly Father and loves to hear us talk to him! Children are usually involved in this time of prayer and then are dismissed for Sunday School. Our Sunday School teachers prepare a Bible lesson, games, crafts, and songs each week for our children aged 3-9.
Once the children have left, someone will teach from the Bible. We believe God speaks directly to us through the Bible, so we take time each Sunday to hear what He has to say and how it relates to life today. We do this because while we believe he invites us to come as we are, he doesn’t want to leave us as we are. He changes us for the better.
The service ends with a song and a blessing. Some people leave at this point. but most folks stick around to chat and have another tea or coffee.
On the first Sunday of every month we have a shared meal (everyone brings something to share) following the service. If you’re visiting on a ‘First Sunday”, you’re invited to stay and eat with us. You don’t have to bring anything because you’re our guest!
