is an independent evangelical church in Swanton Abbott, Norfolk.
We offer everyone a chance to belong, and to grow in their love of God
and for one another, within our beautiful rural community.
We welcome all ages and backgrounds.

Through the dedication of our leadership and volunteers, we are committed to the teachings of Jesus Christ. We want to help everyone to connect with God,
understand the bible and have a vibrant faith.
We are members of the Evangelical Alliance.

Church isn't always what you imagine it to be - you could be pleasantly surprised!
Sunday Services 11am
An all age family friendly service lasting an hour and a quarter. The service includes a mix of contemporary and traditional worship songs, bible teaching, prayer and children's related activities.
Refreshments are served from 10.15am.
Connect Sundays
On the fifth Sunday of the month, we take a more
informal approach to church. This can include maybe a café style layout, interviews, special themes, and guest speakers.
See our special events page for more details. If
you're not used to church, these are a good starting point. All are welcome!

A chance to enjoy delicious free refreshments, including homemade cakes, warm sausage rolls, & lattes. It's a great opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones in our "chapel café". It's a warm place to come, and there' s always a listening ear available. Our vision is to serve the community and share the love of Jesus. All are welcome.

Alpha is a series of sessions exploring life, faith and meaning. No matter your background, or life journey, if you have questions and want somewhere safe to ask them, Alpha is for you. Drop us a line if you'd like to join the next group.
