Sunday Morning Worship

Join us for our weekly Sunday services which take place at 11am in The Minster School, Southwell.

The Minster School is an award-winning modern, well equipped secondary school, completely rebuilt in 2008. It provides a great range of technology, meeting rooms and facilities to ensure that we meet each week in comfortable and relaxed surroundings.

There's plenty of on-site parking and free refreshments before and after each service. You'll always find live music and singing, a message from the Bible, young children's and youth groups, and plenty of opportunities to meet others.
