New Here?
Come as you are. Everyone is welcome.
Whether you’ve been going to church all your life, are coming back after some time away, or are walking through our doors for the very first time, there’s a place for you at St Martin’s. There’s no dress code and nothing you need to know in advance. Just come as you are, and you’ll be very welcome. We are proud to be an inclusive church, celebrating and affirming every person.
Sundays at St Martin's
Our main service is at 10am every Sunday and lasts about an hour and a quarter.
- 1st and 3rd Sundays (and the 5th, when there is one): Holy Communion, with hymns and music led by our choir. On the 1st and 3rd Sundays, children can join Ark, our Sunday group for children.
- 2nd Sunday: Choral Matins, a traditional service with hymns, choral anthems and sung responses.
- 4th Sunday: usually Morning Prayer.
We also have evening services at 6.30pm each Sunday, including an informal communion service and a monthly Choral Evensong, and a traditional communion service at 10am every Wednesday.
At St Stephen’s, Langley Vale, there is a service at 9.30am every Sunday.
Times can change around Christmas and Easter, so please check our weekly newsletter for the latest details.
What to expect
- A friendly welcome. Our welcomers are on the door every Sunday. They will say hello, give you everything you need for the service and help you find a seat. You are welcome to sit wherever you like.
- The service. Our 10am service lasts about an hour and a quarter, with hymns, readings, prayers and music. Just follow along, and join in as much or as little as you like.
- Communion. If you receive communion in your own church, you are welcome to receive it with us. Everyone is welcome to come up to the altar rail for a blessing.
- Stay for a cuppa. After the service there is tea, coffee and biscuits. Do stay and enjoy them. It’s a great chance to meet people.
Children and families
Children of all ages are very welcome at every service, and so is the noise that comes with them! There are spaces in church where children can find toys and activities to keep them interested for the whole service. On the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month, children can also join Ark, our Sunday morning group, during the service.
