Sundays

You're really welcome

We want you to feel really welcome at Hockliffe Street Baptist Church. Find out what you need to know about Sunday Morning and Evening Services here.

Sunday mornings – Worship and teaching

Our Sunday Morning Service starts at 10.30am but you can arrive to chat from about 10.00am. The Service is Livestreamed on YouTube every Sunday at 10:25am. It’s normally finished by noon, after which many of us stay for refreshments
 

Sunday evening – Worship and Praise

In the evenings running from 5.30-6.30pm, we have a more relaxed and informal time of worship and praise, fixing our eyes on Jesus – the author and perfecter of our faith. All are welcome to join in this time of unified fellowship and encouragement.

Location & directions

If driving, use postcode LU7 1EZ – the church building is between 31 and 33 Hockliffe Street. There is a large public car park down the street opposite the church where you can park for free on Sunday.

What should I expect on Sunday mornings?

Welcome team

The ‘Welcome team’ welcomes everyone who comes, especially if you’re new.

They will show you where to go and answer any questions you have.

The service leader will also tell you how the morning will work and where the toilets are.

How long is the service?

Normal services last about 90 minutes.  Children’s groups normally begin after about 30 mins and there are drinks after the service.

What is the service like?

Following a welcome, we begin with sung worship, prayer and readings from the Bible. We want this to be accessible for all ages. Song words are projected onto a screen – feel free to sing along and/or engage with worship however you feel most comfortable.

When children have the opportunity to go to their growth groups at about 11am, the service continues for the adults. Shortly after this, someone will preach a sermon (talk), lasting about 30 mins from the Bible.

What will it feel like?

We want Sundays at Hockliffe Street Baptist Church to be relaxed, encouraging and uplifting,

What is it like for children?

We believe children are as much a part of the church as the grow-ups. Children’s growth groups on Sunday mornings cover children from 0 to school year 7 every week.  Youth growth group, for years 8-13 takes place on Sunday evenings after the Praise and Worship time.
