First time?

Your questions, answered

What should I wear?

Come as you are. You'll see everything from jeans and jumpers to smart-casual — there's no dress code, and no one will be looking.

How long is the service?

Around 90 minutes, starting at 10am. Stay for tea and coffee afterwards for as long as you like — there's no rush.

What about my children?

Kids are very welcome. Age-appropriate groups run during the service, led by our DBS-checked team, so children are cared for while you worship. You're also welcome to keep little ones with you.

Will I have to do anything?

Not at all. You're free to simply sit, watch, and take it all in. There's no pressure to sing, give, or join in with anything you're not ready for.

Is the building accessible?

Yes — the Middle Brook Centre is fully wheelchair accessible with step-free entry, accessible toilets, and a hearing loop. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help you feel at home.
