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. The service will be about 60mins (slightly longer if there is communion). 
 

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?

We welcome children at St Martins. There is a children’s area at the back of the church for preschool children and babies if needed and there are opportunities for the children to go downstairs with our Sunday School leaders during term-time for some teaching of their own. 

Children are welcome to stay with their parents and join in with the singing and prayers. 

There are fidget bags available

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

   

Will I have to join in?
