What to expect
Join us at one of our Sunday services at or at one of our weekly ministries or events.
Are you new to
Church?
Never been to Wellington before? Perhaps you are thinking about coming to Church for the first time, or even if you’re just passing through the area there will always be a welcome for you at Wellington.
What to expect?
As a church family, we meet at 10.30am and 6.30pm every Sunday. If you are driving to Church, you will find ample car parking available within the Church grounds.
As you arrive, a member of our friendly Welcome Team will be at the door to greet you and help you feel at home. Let them know that you’re a visitor and they will happily answer any questions you may have.
On entering the main Church sanctuary feel free to sit wherever you like.
The services follow a similar format most weeks – we share worship, prayers and following a specific message for our children, we read the Bible together and there will be a sermon with teachings rooted in scripture and relevant to everyday life.
After the service tea/coffee is served in the Church Hall (Sept to June).
Frequently asked
questions
Where do I park?
There are plenty of car parking spaces within the Church grounds.
There is a small carpark at the front of the Church (to the right of the roundabout). This carpark is easier for those who may be less mobile.
There are also dedicated wheelchair and disabled spaces to the right of the roundabout.
There are also spaces around the left side of the Church, as well as a large carpark around the back of the Church building.
What should I wear?
Please wear whatever you are most comfortable in – we have no dress code. Some people wear jeans and a T-shirt, others may wear something a little more formal. You will be made to feel most welcome just as you are.
Where do I sit?
Feel free to sit anywhere you would like within the Church Sanctuary. Regular Church attendees may sit in the same general areas each week but do not have specific seats. Sit wherever you feel most comfortable, or a member of our Welcome Team will be happy to find you a seat if you wish. Please just ask.
Is there singing?
Yes! We sing a range of old songs and new, and we normally sing 4 or 5 songs, lead by our
worship band. The words for all the songs will be projected on to the screens at the front of the
Church.
Although the congregation usually stands together to sing in worship, please feel free to remain seated if you have mobility issues, or are unable to stand for long periods of time. Please don’t feel under any pressure to join in with the singing, we understand it can seem a little strange if you are new to church! Just come along and enjoy the music whatever way you would feel most comfortable.
What is available for families and children during the morning service?
We have several age-specific groups and spaces to support families and help children engage in a way that’s just right for them:
Crèche – For children under 2½ years old, our crèche is a soft play area supervised by an experienced and caring team. It’s a safe and relaxing environment for little ones. Feel free to leave your child into creche either before, or at any time during the Church Service.
The creche room is found at the very end of the corridor, past the toilets.
Ask any member of the Welcome team for directions.
During the service, children will be invited up to the front for a Childrens Talk, or a Kids Prayer & Song. The children will then all leave to go to their own programmes. (Even if your child doesn’t want to go to the front, they are welcome to the Children’s programmes).
TotZone – For children aged 2½ to nursery age. TotZone offers a fun and engaging time with Bible stories, singing, and crafts. We ask that parents escort their child to the TotZone Room. (Opposite the main toilets).
The Well – Children in Primary 1 to Primary 7 can go to The Well for age-appropriate Bible teaching, games, and discussion. All children go to the Church Hall for praise and prayer before splitting to their age-groups:
- P1-P2 remain in the Church Hall for the duration of the programme.
- P3-P4 move upstairs to the Studio Rooms.
- P5-P7 gather downstairs in Cafe Aroma.
Children can be collected from these locations after the Church service has ended. If you need directions to any of these areas just ask any of the Welcome Team at the doors.
Is my SEN child welcome to attend?
Everyone is welcome to attend Wellington.
We strive to be as inclusive as possible. If your child has additional needs we will try to support them as best as we are able. Please speak to the leader of the child’s program (or any member of the Welcome Team) to make them aware and we will give them additional support.
If your child is unsettled within Church, there are Sensory Boxes located in the main glass vestibule entrance, in the Church Hall and in Cafe Aroma (downstairs). These boxes contain ear-defenders and some packs of fidget toys. These fidget packs or ear-defenders can be borrowed at any time during the service. Please just return to the box afterwards.
If you feel your child needs a break, feel free to leave the Church sanctuary at any time. There is seating available around the link corridor leading towards the Church Hall and the audio from the Church can be heard through speakers.
If there is anything we can do to make your visit to Wellington easier then please speak to any member of the Welcome Team.
How do I get connected?
Please let our Welcome Team know if you are attending for the first time – or stay after our service for a chat over tea/coffee so we can get you connected with our church family.
Alternatively complete our contact form available on our website or a form can be found at the end of every pew, and a member of our church team will be in touch. We also have a number of ministries that run through the week in addition to our two services each Sunday. Please click ‘Get Involved’ below.
Is your building accessible for people who use wheelchairs?
Yes, our building is fully accessible by wheelchair. Make yourself known to a member of the Welcome Team and we will provide any advice or assistance that you may require.
