Expect friendly faces and good coffee! When you come in there’ll be people to greet you and make you feel at home. We’ll gather together for some singing, a short talk based on the Bible and some space to be prayed for if wanted. There is no level of engagement that is required, you can just come and have a look if you’re curious!

Whatever you believe, you’re welcome at Woven. We are a family, and we don’t turn anyone away from our doors.

At our 10am service, we run Wild Church. This is where all children attending Church are invited to learn more about God in a more relaxed setting (outdoors!).
