Weekly Services

There are two church services which meet every the week.

Wednesday 10:30 am-11:30 am

Each Wednesday we gather in the church with those who are available mid-week for a time of prayer, worship and teaching.

The service begins with an opportunity to catch up with friends over a cup of coffee or tea (and sometimes biscuits too). After which we gather to encourage one another through prayer, worship and teaching.

No two Wednesday services are the same, and we regularly have guest speakers join us. The service is very informal, and participation is encouraged.

Sunday 10:30 am-12:00 pm

This is our all-age family service, and it is open to anyone and everyone who would like to attend. There is no dress code, and we want you to feel relaxed so just come in whatever makes you comfortable.

You will be greeted at the door by one of our friendly welcome team, and you are free to sit anywhere in the auditorium, even the front row if you like!

The service usually begins with a time of sung worship with lively and contemporary songs, we are very blessed with a talented all-age group of musicians.

The children and youth remain in the main meeting for 30 - 40 minutes before they leave to enjoy their own age-relevant teaching. All of our children’s and youth workers are DBS checked and trained in Safeguarding.

We encourage parents and children to join in with the first part of the service and don’t mind if the kids get loud! We are a family-friendly church.

There is a sound-proof crèche area where parents with young children can go during the sermon should they wish. The service is relayed into this room so that you won’t miss out.

Pastor Steve teaches regularly on the biblical foundation for contemporary Christian living and we are also blessed with many gifted and able speakers that supplement our teaching ministry.

Following the worship service, refreshments are available to all with time to catch up with the wider church family.

We would love you to come and join us!

If you have any questions about our Sunday Services or need to get in touch with us about any other enquiry we will be happy to help.

Where and when does the Church meet?
We have two services each week, on a Wednesday and a Sunday at 10.30am. We suggest you aim to arrive at least 10 minutes early to get a parking spot and seat in time for the service to start.

We meet at:

Tamworth Elim Church
Bamford Street,
Glascote,
Tamworth,
Staffs
B77 2AT

You can see a map on our contact us page.

There is limited parking available on the site (two small car parks on Bamford Street; one slightly larger car park on Neville Street). Many people park on Abbey Road a short walk away as Bamford Street can be very congested.

What should I expect when I visit the Church on a Sunday Morning?

Our Welcome Team will be pleased to meet you as you arrive and they will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go. Families often arrive in time to catch up with each other before the service begins. At the start of the service, the church family celebrates the goodness and love of God through music. Our music is lively and contemporary and we are blessed with a talented all-age group of musicians. This time can also include prayers, Bible reading and church/community/family news and updates.

The children and youth remain in the main meeting for about 30 minutes before they leave to enjoy their own age-relevant teaching. There is also a sound-proof crèche area for the very young, with views and sound links into the main church auditorium (this is available for parents to use throughout the service).

Pastor Steve Jonathan teaches regularly on the biblical foundation for contemporary Christian living and we are also blessed with many gifted and able speakers that supplement our teaching ministry each week.

Following the service, refreshments are available to all with time to catch up with the wider church family and ask any questions you may have.

No offering is taken at our service, though an offerings box is situated on the back wall of our church for those wishing to give to the work and ministry of our church.

What happens for the kids and youth at church?

We have a range of fantastic programmes for the kids at the Church for ages 0–12. Children stay with their parents for the first part of the service as we celebrate together. An announcement will be made when the children can go to their age-appropriate groups and programmes. If this is your first visit you will need to go with your children to register them.

For more information about what happens in the children's work please visit the relevant age groups for your family under What's On.

Is there a dress code?

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

Will I have to join in?

You are of course free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
