Monks Road Congregation

Still travelling each Sunday to Nettleham joining with others to worship it became increasingly difficult to get everyone there! We also realised that it was easier to make even more friends with people in the community if we met all together in the community.

As well as being a relatively young congregation, our average age is younger than most churches. We have an eclectic mix of individuals from all sorts of backgrounds; Students, young professionals, recovering addicts, young mums (& dads!) all make the congregation a privilege to be part of. Many of us refer to it as a family and we think that making people feel welcome and accepted is very important regardless of what church experience or beliefs they’ve got.

     

This is reflected in all that we do, so whether it meeting in people’s homes, or worshiping altogether on a Sunday at the YMCA, the emphasis is on belonging and being able to take part and find a place to fit.

We have a big heart for the local community and look for ways to actively make a difference. Whether that’s supporting the local access centre, working with and helping other churches or planning community fun days and Christmas events, the emphasis is on getting to know new people and helping in whatever way we can.

We meet in small groups at local homes midweek to get to know each other more, discover more about God and laugh lots! We also meet as a larger group at the local YMCA on St Rumbold Street above the gym on Sundays @ 10:30am

There's a really warm welcome and a hot brew waiting for you if you fancy joining us sometime!
