About Us

We are a friendly, Bible-teaching church, seeking to serve and share Jesus in Kidderminster, throughout the Wyre Forest and beyond. We enjoy meeting together to worship God and grow together as a church family as we learn how to be followers of Jesus, and to make the Good News of the Christian message known to our neighbours and friends.

We seek to reflect God’s grace and love to us in our relationships with each other. In all our meetings, ministries, activities and interactions, our desire is to have a grace-shaped culture which showcases the good news that is preached from the pulpit. We aim to be an intentionally relational, generously hospitable, family-friendly church, offering a warm welcome to people of all ages and backgrounds.

Grace Church Kidderminster is a church is made up of ordinary people from all walks of life and backgrounds. Every member of the church has an important role to play in church life because God has graciously given every Christian gifts to use in the service of others. As a new church we love meeting new people. If you come and visit us, we really hope that you will feel right at home and receive a warm welcome.

From January 2025 onwards, in addition to our weekly Sunday morning meetings, we are planning on running a range of midweek activities including a Parent and Toddler group, a midweek group for Seniors, and after school groups for youth and children.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Welcome

If you're thinking of joining us or visiting us once we start to meet from January 19th 2025 onwards, this information will hopefully give you a feel of what to expect from a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We will meet at the Church Building on Greatfield Road (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 10:30am. Most people usually aim to get here a few minutes beforehand so you have time to find a seat. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team who will be wearing a Welcome badge.

Anyone is welcome. If you are not used to going to church you will find that everything is explained and that you are under no obligation to take part in anything. There is no dress code – please wear what you feel comfortable with. We don’t collect money during any of our services.

We serve tea and coffee after the service.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and there are disabled toilets in the foyer.

Our Service

The service begins at 10:30am with a warm welcome from the service leader. A typical service will also include the following and last for around 70 minutes.

singing together (usually around 5 songs in total across the whole service) - we sing a mix of modern songs and older hymns in a contemporary style
a short "family slot" consisting of a short talk particularly suited to children in the first part of our service
a brief update about any church family news
a member of the church leading us as we talk to God in prayer
a member of the church reading from a passage from God's word, the Bible
a talk which helps us to see the meaning and relevance of that Bible passage to all of our lives today
we then finish with a final song as we respond to what we have heard from God's word
once a month in the service we share the Lord's Supper during the meeting (where we remember Jesus' death for us through sharing bread and wine)

What about my Children?

Children sit with their parents or grown up for the first part of the service. We really value worshipping God all together as a family. After about 20-25 minutes, the service leader will announce when it’s time for the children to go to their various groups.
Whilst you are dropping your kids off at their groups, we pause to take time to chat to someone sitting near or next to us, giving folk a chance to come back before the sermon begins.

We have groups on a sunday morning aged up to 11. We encourage secondary school age children to stay in the service with their parent(s) or grown up who has brought them.

The children's group typically includes games, craft, drama, reading bible stories and prayer. Parents pick up their children when the service finishes.

Other Ministries

We also plan to run the following ministries during the week:

Parent and toddler group
Seniors afternoon meeting
After school groups for both primary and secondary school aged children
