The deep stone porch of St Thomas and its blue double doors, open to the path

Your first Sunday

Push the door.
That’s all.

No dress code. No insider knowledge. No one will ask you to explain yourself.

Worship with us

Sunday
11:00am

Our main weekly service is an unhurried hour of prayer, scripture and music in a building that has been doing exactly this since 1866.

People start arriving around 10:45am. Sit wherever you like — nobody owns a pew. If something is unfamiliar, follow along or simply listen; nothing here depends on you knowing what comes next.

What to expect

Simple. Prayerful.
Human.

You will never be singled out, put on the spot, or expected to know the words. Children, questions, doubts, joys and thoroughly tired weeks are all welcome.

01

A genuine hello

Someone will meet you at the door and can help with seating, access or a service booklet.

02

Worship together

Everything is printed or announced. Join in as much or as little as feels right today.

03

Space to stay

There is no rush to leave. Conversation, coffee and company are part of the point.
