| What is St Jude's like? |

St Jude's is a friendly and lively Church close to Plymouth city centre with all age ranges. We have a free car park and the local streets are also generally free parking on Saturdays and Sundays (most of the streets are permit parking only 10-11am Mon - Fri). Sunday worship times are at 10.30am and 6.30pm. The 10.30 is primarily for adults and families when we also have groups for children and youth and an All Age service once a month. And see the information on our new service, "The Midweeker", in Judes News to your left on this page.
Our Sunday evening gathering are there to better fit the worship style of younger adults (or those young at heart!), students and older teenagers. As a time to refresh each week, there will be extended worship to give the Holy Spirit space interspersed with prayer and punchy short, topical teaching (just click on the service times link above for more). There is time at the beginning to chill with friends over things like a bit of pizza and a fresh coffee before we move into the music.
We have a mixture of opportunities for children and teenagers from Boys' and Girls' Brigades through to our teenage group - SAS. Have a look at their programme online on their part of this site. You'll find them all via "Under 18's" above.
If you are into church 'speak' then we're an open evangelical, mildly charismatic relaxed Anglican church and we're into Small Groups and Alpha and have links with New Wine and Soul Survivor, Saddleback (USA) and Willow Creek (USA) and joining in with Hope 08.
We're wanting to be an informal yet intentional Holy Spirit led church who hope to be about "Christ and our Commitment to grow in him and his Commandments and Commission" - our motto 'C4'.
And if you have gifts you want to use for instance - an ability with music - a passion for outreach - a hunger to help others - a desire to do more - we want to actively encourage your God given ministry, whatever it is. Chat with the Vicar when you come along.
So, please have a meander around this web site and get a feel for us or come along and find out. You'll be made very welcome - because everyone always is at St Jude's. |
