What’s on

Mid-week Groups and Activities

We regularly offer short courses for those wanting to investigate further the identity and mission of Jesus.

In January 2026 we are invited to join the courses being held at our sister church, Emmanuel, Stonecot Hill. Click here to find out more.

Growth Groups

Gathering together to study the Bible and enjoy fellowship together is vital in helping us grow in faith, in community and in mission. Therefore many of us meet in a ‘Growth Group’. There are several Growth Groups and they meet in people’s homes either during the day or in the evening, usually on a fortnightly basis.

We have an annual Lent Course, when most Growth Groups join together for teaching sessions on a particular Bible theme.

Prayer Meetings

Our most important meeting of the month is our prayer meeting which usually takes place on the first Wednesday of the month. This is a time for members to praise God for who he is and what he has done for us in Jesus Christ, as well as to thank him for answered prayer. We also pray for church matters, our mission and ministry as well as for the wider community. We start at 7:50 pm, and finish promptly at 9:00 pm.

We also have a weekly prayer meeting on Zoom on a Tuesday morning from 9.15-10.00am.

Babies & Toddlers and Play & Praise

We run two weekday groups for our youngest children and their grown-ups:

Play & Praise with Bible story, craft, singing, play, refreshments and chat – and it’s free to attend! Every Thursday 10.00am to 11.30am during termtime.

St Martin’s Baby and Toddler Group meets every Friday from 9:30am during school term time. We have a wide range of play equipment and toys suitable for babies through to pre-school children. There is also an interactive circle time featuring singing and a short bible story for children.

Both groups are run by volunteers from St Martin’s church and we invite all parents, grandparents and carers. We are a friendly group with a desire to see parents and children make friends and build community. The groups meets in the main St Martin’s building and you can enter through the main door which is open at all times during the session. Just turn up!

For Seniors

Social and Outreach Events

We hold social events such as a Quiz Night or a meal like a Harvest Lunch where we look forward to inviting friends and relatives to a pleasant evening of fun and conversation.

We also organise occasional afternoon teas and outreach evenings where we seek to share the good news of Jesus more pointedly in a relaxing atmosphere. Irregularly we host a Craft Evening where the women of the church invite friends to come and learn how to make something that will enhance their homes or their fridge! The evening will include a short talk on some aspect of the Christian faith.

We occasionally organise themed events for families with craft, games, songs and Bible teaching.
