……about our Events
The doors are always open for you to pop in and join in with one of our services or activities and you will always be welcomed.
Our Church Worship Services
We meet at 10.30 am on Sunday mornings. The services usually last about 1 hour and are led by our minister Gary and sometimes guest speakers.
The morning service includes an ‘all-age’ talk and during the service the youngsters go out to their group, which is called JIGSAW.
We celebrate communion at the Lord’s Table on the 3rd Sunday morning of the month.
After the service, tea and coffee is served free in our foyer and there is the chance to chat with friends old and new.
JIGSAW
We run JIGSAW (Sunday school) every Sunday morning during the service. The children enjoy a short time in the main service then head to JIGSAW where they have the opportunity to learn stories in the Bible, do crafts and activities, enjoy a snack and time with friends. Our early years and key stage 1 group is lead by Lauren, Cheryl and Linda. Our key stage 2 group is lead by Kelly and Susan.
Youth
We offer teenagers the opportunity to study God’s word and meet with their peers each weekend on a Sunday. We alternate their meeting times covering two Sunday mornings a month and two Sunday nights a month. This allows them the chance to remain in the service twice a month as well. We have a junior youth (secondary aged) as well as a senior youth (college/university aged). We stay together for snacks and games then split for our study time. We enjoy occasional socials as well. Three times a year we meet with other young people across Teesside at an event called Refresh which is hosted by All Saints Church in Eaglescliffe. Our youth ministry team is made up of Michaela, Brent and Lauren.
Ladies’ MOT (Moving On Together) Group
This group is for ladies who are widowed. We meet once every two weeks on a Monday 10.30-12 in the foyer at the front of the church. It’s very informal where we have a cuppa and a chat. If you know of anyone that might be interested in this group, please ask for more information by emailing us at churchsecretary.bbc@gmail.com

Men’s Social Group
We meet every Wednesday between 2pm & 5pm to play pool, table tennis and chat together. Occasionally we go out for a change. All men welcome, just come along!
Men’s Study Group
We aim to provide a study group for men to mature in their faith in a relaxed and edifying setting. It’s a place for encouraging each other, learning from one another and developing each other in gifts to serve. “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” (1 Peter 4:10)
Midweek Bible Study
Join us on Thursday evening at 7pm as we meet to share fellowship, study God’s word and pray together.
Line Dancing
We meet Tuesday & Thursday mornings. No skill required. Come and join in or watch and enjoy the company. There is a small charge for this activity.
‘Sweetpeas’ Toddler Groups
We welcome children aged 0-3yrs (preschool). Our toddlers will be able to enjoy free play exploring the different areas as well as a short structured time including songs. We will provide a healthy snack for the children as well as a cuppa and treat for the adults.
We are a church run play group so we will include a short faith based song and a children’s prayer before snack.
