 A Warm Hello!

NMNC banner only

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know beforehand what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When
We meet at Belmont House School (local map here) for our Sunday Service starting at 10:30am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 15 -20 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins.

In the interests of good neighbourly relations please do not park on Sandringham Avenue. 
There should be plenty of room in the car park and our stewards will help you park.
In the unlikely event that the car park is full, please use one of the side roads (but not Sandringham Avenue).

When you arrive at the premises, you will be greeted by someone on our door team.
We encourage you to bring your own Bible, but all bible readings will be displayed on a screen at the front of the church.
If you're new to church and don't have a Bible please let us know and we'll be happy to provide one for you.

We serve tea & coffee after the service, and this is a great way to meet people or simply take time to find your bearings. 

Is there a dress code? Not at all - come casual, come smart, but just come!
Will I have to join in? You're welcome to simply observe or to participate actively 
Accessibility There is wheelchair access, and a disabled toilet


Our Service

The service begins at 10:30am and lasts around 70 minutes.
Preaching, praise and prayer are central to our worship.
On particular Sundays we shall include the sacrament of Baptism and the Lord's Supper.

Our service of worship will include traditional and contemporary praise. We also include Psalms.

We follow an order of service that can vary but would look something like this; 

  • Welcome with notices
  • Call to worship
  • Praise (this may be one or more items of praise) 
  • Prayer of adoration & confession
  • Children's talk & song
  • Children leave to attend age appropriate groups 
  • Prayer of thanksgiving & confession
  • Praise
  • Bible-based sermon 
  • Praise
  • Benediction

Our singing is led by our gifted group of musicians, and the words of the praise are projected onto a large screen so that everyone can join in freely or just read & listen.

Don't worry if you're not a great singer - just making a joyful noise to the Lord is fine!

Getting Connected

Small Groups
While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet during the week, some afternoons and some evenings. Check out Small Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.


 
Get in touch with us if you'd like assistance for your visit
We'd be happy to help - just give us a few days notice and we'll try to make suitable arrangements. However even without advance notice our door team is always happy to help on the day!
