When and where do we meet?
Our Church meets every Sunday evening. We arrive from 4:30 pm for tea and coffee. This gives us the opportunity to speak to everyone including visitors. We are a friendly bunch! The main meeting starts at 5 pm.
We meet at: Foundry House Community Centre, Orange Way, Pembroke, Pembrokeshire. SA71 4DR. There is parking available outside. If the car park is full, there is plenty of parking close by on The Commons.
You can see a map on our Contact Us page.
What should I expect when I visit?
You will receive a warm welcome. We are a church which sees itself as 'family'. We are relaxed and informal so we hope you will feel at home. Do ask any of us any questions. At 5 pm we move into our main meeting room. Each of our meetings is slightly different, just as in family life things are always changing. We want to ensure that we are flexible enough for the Holy Spirit to lead us, but structured enough to allow Him to shape us. Most of our meetings include worship (usually via recorded music), Bible-based teaching which is challenging and applies to our everyday life, and the opportunity to respond. We usual finish by 6.45 pm and leave around 7 pm so there is plenty of time to ask questions.
What happens to the children at church?
The evening meeting is inclusive: children are welcome to join our worship. We are understanding of the children's needs (including those with additional needs) and our relaxed culture supports this. Children can either do craft at the back of our main meeting room or play in a side room which is unsupervised. Parents or guardians therefore have responsibility for their children while the main teaching takes place. If you have any questions about how this could work for your children, we would love to introduce you to some of our families. For other family-friendly activities please click here.
Young People
We believe that church is multi-generational. We therefore want our young people to feel part of our church and just as at home as any adult. They enjoy the opportunity to lead our main Sunday meeting roughly once a term. Even if they aren't confident enough to speak, they all get involved and contribute to preparing the meeting. For more details please speak to Kate Bailey.
Is there a dress code?
No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes. You may find some of us still have flip-flops on after coming straight from the beach in the summer.
Will I have to join in?
Not at all! You are free to simply observe or participate in whatever way feels comfortable to you.
