LIFE EVENTS

Weddings

Weddings

We welcome and marry all cultures and religious faiths, and also conduct same-sex marriages – we are proudly LGBTQ+ inclusive. In fact, we were one of the first churches to offer same-sex marriages in the UK, after campaigning for several decades. 

  • What to expect
    Services consist of an Address, music, hymn-singing, readings, prayer and meditation - but no set format. There might be candle-lighting and quiet reflection one week and a traditional sermon with hymns the week after.
  • When to attend
    Services are conducted every Sunday at 10:45 and last for roughly an hour. All visitors are made most welcome and are invited to join us for refreshment and a chat after the service.
  • Minister and preachers
    The first Sunday service of each month is usually conducted by our part time lay Minister, Dr Martin Pulbrook the remainder by visiting Ministers or lay leaders. We enjoy a wide variety of perspectives from these different visitors.
