Copleston Church is now open every week, with social distancing (Covid-19 secure) for our

Sunday Morning communion service at 10 am

We will continue to live stream the service on our Copleston Church Facebook page for those who are shielding or self-isolating, and for those who connect from a distance.

If you have enjoyed and appreciated our worship and our work in the community please show your support by making a donation - we rely on the generosity of our members and supporters to keep going!

The church is also open on Sunday evenings:

5pm - 6pm Private Prayer

6pm - 6.30pm Compline (Service of Night Prayer)

(Inclusive Language Communion on first Sunday of the Month)

Sunday Services: 10am - 11.15am each week

We are a lively, welcoming group so please come and join us for worship!

If you're coming for the first time we recommend the first Sunday of the month, "Café Church" - an informal and interactive service for all ages, starting with breakfast served from 10am, and providing an opportunity to begin to get to know a few people.

The rest of the month, we have a communion service and a Sunday School for younger members of the congregation.

Our Sunday Worship focuses on giving thanks to God in praise and prayer, and in exploring the Christian faith together in ways that help us to make sense of the Bible, our beliefs, and the complexities of human life and society.

Our congregation is a very friendly, welcoming and easy-going group of people of all ages and backgrounds. In both worship and service we seek to make manifest the unconditional love of God in welcome, serious attention and unpossessive togetherness.

We believe in a fully Inclusive Church – which does not discriminate, on any level, on grounds of economic power, gender, mental health, physical ability, race or sexuality.

We believe in a Church which we welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the Gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.

I’m New - What should I do?

Weekday services, prayer and meditation

Our current pattern of weekday services is Monday to Friday:

8.00am - 8.40am Morning Prayer

Wednesday:

5pm - 6pm Silent Prayer & Contemplation / Quiet reflection
(please drop-in and stay as long or short a time as you wish)

Our weekday services are small quiet occasions, conducted in a contemplative atmosphere, and with a period of 10 minutes silence for quiet reflection and contemplation. They provide a beautiful and tranquil way to start or end the day, to give thanks for the good things, and to offer prayers for the people and events on your mind.

Please enter the building via the door which is half-way down the right hand side passage, and observe the guidelines for social distancing.
