If you are thinking about coming along to one of our services or events, take a look at our normal service times and double check with the calendar. If you're not sure what to expect, then don't worry, you'll get a friendly welcome, but we promise not to ambush you.

We have two main Sunday morning services, one at 9.30am which can be best described as a more traditional worship service with an organ and sometimes a choir, and a more informal service at 11.00am with contemporary worship songs which is suitable for all ages.   If you're feeling sociable, tea, coffee and cake are served between 10.30 and 11.00am.

We also run Messy Church at 11:am on the 1st Sunday of every month which is particularly suited to families, but welcoming to all.  There are crafts and activities following by a story, songs, prayers and a meal together. 

Please note, there is very limited parking in the vicinity of the church (street parking normally available on Sundays in the Market Square and Salter Street).

Planning to visit because of an interest in the church building and it's history? You will find some information here. Guide books are available in the church, which is generally open during daylight hours. We are a stone's throw from Berkeley Castle and the Jenner Museum. We hope you enjoy your visit.
