We are a thriving, friendly church in the middle of the community of Meadgate. Everyone is welcome to join us whether you’ve been going to church for years, haven’t been for a while, or are just interested in finding out more.
 
On a Sunday we have three services that cater for all tastes, but Meadgate Church doesn’t end on Sunday – you can    normally find something going on every day of the week and you’ll find details of all that we do in this brochure.
 
We hope you’ll drop by and find a non-threatening, warm and welcoming atmosphere. Don’t expect an organ and a lot of serious people - we are lively and have a mixed age congregation. None of us are perfect, we’re just a bunch of people trying to follow the example Jesus set for us - hence our mission statement is “Aiming to be like Jesus.”
