Welcoming your child 

pexels-lisa-2721581Congratulations on the birth of your child.

Since Cambourne Church is a Local Ecumenical Partnership (a partnership of the Church of England, Baptist Union, United Reformed Church and Methodist Church) we are able to offer a range of services suited to people of different traditions and backgrounds. The services below offer different emphases and demand different levels of commitment. We will work with you to ensure that the occasion is special for you and your family. 

Christening (Baptism)
A service for Christians who see this as an incorporation of their child into the life of the church and the beginning of their Christian journey through life.

Thanksgiving
This is a service to say ‘Thank you’ to God for the gift of the newborn, pray for the child and pray for the parents.

Dedication
A service for Christians who want their child to be welcomed into the family of the church but who believe that it is for the child themselves if and when they are baptised. 

If you are interested in bringing your child to Cambourne Church for one of these services please contact the church office and we can begin the process of arranging that.

Planning your Visit

New to Church?


00 Welcome

Welcome! Whether you've just moved to the area, or have lived here all your life, we hope our website helps you to find out everything you want to know about our Church.
 

When & where does the church meet?


Sunday One will be on the first Sunday of the month. It is a 10.00am service for all ages with Communion. 

On the other Sundays of the month there will be 9.30am and 11.00am services, as usual, with groups for children and young people at the 11.00am service.
Communion will be celebrated on at least one of these Sundays, as publicised.

Any changes to this will be shared on our Facebook page or shown on the calendar here.

The 9.30 service is more traditional in style with the music mainly consisting of hymns played on a keyboard.
The 11am service is more contemporary in style with the music being lead by a worship team. Most of the songs are more modern than those played at the 9.30 service.

We meet at:

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm welcome particularly from our Welcome Team who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go. There will be some singing to start with as well as some prayers and a reading from the bible. There will be a talk (some reflections) from one of the leaders of the church, with a chance to discuss it further at the end of the service. 

Tea, coffee and biscuits are served after the service where there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.
 

What is there for children and young people at church?

We have a fantastic programme for the children and young people at the Church. Children and young people stay with their families at the start of the service as we worship (sing songs!) together for the first part of the morning. Someone will announce when the children and young people need to go to their programme. We have young church for those from Yr R - Yr 6 and a youth group for our young people in years 7-13. There is a creche in the church foyer for younger children.
 

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.
 

Will I have to join in?

Not at all!
You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
