Welcome
Whether you've just moved to the area, or have lived here all your life, you are very welcome at Christ Church Sidcup.
What time do you meet on a Sunday?
Each Sunday we meet at 9am, 9:30am, 10:30am and 6pm.
Our 9am service is a small and traditional service of Holy Communion or Morning Prayer lasting half an hour.
At 9:30am we have our Bubble Church service for families with children from 0-7 years old, lasting half an hour.
The 10:30am service is our main Sunday Gathering with sung music and groups for children, lasting about 1hr 15.
Our 6pm service is smaller, cosier, and more contemporary, help in our ‘West Wing’ part of the church.
Where does the Church meet on a Sunday?
Christ Church Sidcup, Main Road, Sidcup, Kent DA14 6NJ. We are on the 321 bus route and just 5 minutes walk from Sidcup High Street. We are opposite the Harvester Pub.
What should I wear?
Wear whatever you feel comfortable in and is ‘normal’ for you. There is no dress code. Some people will come in suits and nice dresses, while others will come in shorts and t-shirts.
Are children welcome at Church?
Yes - children are welcome at all our services! Younger families tend to come to either:
our Bubble Church service with Puppets at 9:30am; or
our main 10.30am service, where each week there is either Sunday School for primary-aged children or a monthly All-Age Service designed to engage all-ages (and we mean all ages!) and help them be church together. Pre-schoolers are also very welcome at this service - we love the sound of children taking part!
How do you make Church accessible for all?
We are working hard to make our church more accessible for everyone. Please have a look at our Accessible Church page to see what is already in place to support those with additional needs. There is also a form there to let us know what adjustments/support you may need or to make any suggestions to improve accessibility in any way.
Do I have to join in?
There are songs, prayers and a (monthly) time of Holy Communion, but please only join in with what you are comfortable with. If you would prefer to sit and watch then that is fine. We have created a short playlist of songs on YouTube that we sing at Christ Church if you would like to introduce yourself to them.
Can I watch the services online?
Yes we live stream our 10:30am services. We do this both so that people who are new to Church can get a feel for what it’s like, and for those who for whatever reason cannot make it one Sunday. Our Online Services are a wonderful resource but they are nothing compared to the real thing - so please give them a watch and then come along. We would love to meet you!
How can I learn more about Jesus and Christianity?
We are passionate about helping people get to know Jesus for themselves! So we’ve created some online resources that answer your questions and introduce you to Jesus. We also run termly courses that explore the Christian faith, and even if you are not a Christian you are always welcome to come along to Church and see what it is all about.
Do you do anything midweek?
Yes we as a Church do lots during the week for kids and for adults. We have groups for mum’s and toddlers, for teenagers, for the actively retired and everyone in between. We also run midweek Bible Study groups to help all our members grow in their faith, plus courses and occasional seminars. There is lots going on!
Do you do baptisms, weddings and funerals?
Yes we do baptisms, weddings and funerals. If you would like to make an enquiry please do get in contact with Kelly our church coordinator on kellychristchurchsidcup@gmail.com
