Worship at The Square

Our church buildings are open every Sunday morning for worship, either for a traditional service in the Church, or for Café Worship in the church hall. Most of our traditional services are also live streamed on YouTube, so you can join in online if you can't make it in person. See our Worship This Week page for up to date information. On that page, you can also find resources to help you in your worship at home, if that is your choice.
