To show the love of Jesus in word and action

so that others may come to know him as Lord and Saviour

Public Worship

The Church in Great Notley is open for public worship.

Our live Services are streamed to Facebook and later made available on our YouTube Channel. This will be approximately an hour after the Service ends but could be even later.

You can subscribe to the Channel for notifications of new videos if you wish. These would include Services from St. Peter & St. Paul, Black Notley and All Saints Rayne.

We are an ecumenical partnership church that's part of the Baptist Union, Church of England, Methodist Church and the United Reformed Church, in association with the Roman Catholic Church.

Our Sunday morning service starts at 11am and is for everyone. During term time we have a Junior Church group with fun teaching and activities for children of all ages.

1st Sunday - All Age Worship

This is a lively service and is suitable for all ages and often involves our young people.

2nd Sunday - Communion

This service is led by our resident or a visiting Free Church minister.

3rd Sunday - Communion

The morning service is a traditional Anglican Communion led by one of the ministry team.

4th and 5th Sunday - Morning Praise

A livelier service, led by members of the congregation often with a visiting preacher.

There is a family room within the worship space with toys and a nursing chair. The service is relayed into this area so no one misses out on what is happening.
