Sundays
We meet every Sunday 10:30 – 12:00 in the Small Hall, Andover Estate Community Centre. Googlemaps. What3Words.
The primary aim of our Sunday gathering is to enable every Christian to read the Bible devotionally for themselves. Non-believers are, of course, very welcome to attend and engage with the claims of the Bible with us!
Therefore, our Sunday gatherings are seated around tables in regular small groups. The Bible teaching is seminar-style, with breakout discussions facilitated by a small group leader and Q&A with the preacher. For guests and newcomers, we have a visitors’ table led by two church members. We do not have music on Sundays out of consideration for nearby residents.
Members’ ministry
ABC prioritises the discipleship of church members, so we have members-only small group ministry time on a Sunday after the main service, usually in nearby homes. Anyone wishing to join church membership should speak to their small group leader for more information.
On the first Sunday of each month, the small groups stay together for church members’ Lord’s Supper and our monthly members’ meeting.
Children
For under-3s, we have side rooms available for parents and toddlers, with an audio link available (please bring your own earbuds for a WhatsApp voice call).
Over-3s currently sit in the main gathering with their parents.
