Sunday Worship

We have two services on Sunday, at 10:15 am and 6:15 pm

 
We aim to be welcoming and contemporary, meeting together in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to worship and pray to God, to enjoy Christian fellowship with one another, to learn from his word, to build up believers and to challenge those who are seeking faith.

Preaching in Surrey Chapel is expository – that is, the preacher opens up a passage of God’s word, The Bible, and explains the meaning and how it applies to our everyday 21st century lives. Our Pastors, Tom Chapman and Jason Griffiths, share the majority of the preaching, usually working consecutively through a book or a section of a book from The Bible. The remainder of the preaching is undertaken by other elders in the church, other members developing a preaching ministry and occasional visiting speakers such as mission representatives.

In our worship we aim for the balance between joy and reverence that is exemplified in Psalm 95:

"Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord … Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song … Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker, for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care." (NIV) 

There is plenty of variety in our music in worship, with a mixture of both traditional hymns and more contemporary songs.

Communion is usually included in the evening service on the first and third Sundays in the month, and in the morning service on the other Sundays. All who have a personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ are welcome to share in Communion. Sunday services normally run for about 75 minutes when there is no Communion, and for about 90 minutes when there is.

The
Young Church (4–11s) joins with the whole church on Sunday mornings for part of the service, before going to their separate groups after about 20 minutes. There is also a Bible Class for young people from about 12 years of age.  For babies and toddlers, a crèche is provided throughout the morning service.
