What to expect

Here at Thames Elim our Sunday services are all about coming together as a community with Jesus at the center.

Our services are designed around three main elements: Music, Message & Fellowship.

The music is played by our live band, the message is Bible-based, practical and relevant, followed by fellowship at our Coastal Cafe.

What time is the service?

10am every Sunday!

Do I need to register to attend?

There is no need to register.

Do I need to get there early?

Generally speaking 5-10min early is perfect.

What are my options for childcare?

We have a kids programme running for all ages during our service with our awesome kids leaders.

The kids stay in the service for the first 10-15mins and then you can drop them off to a programme specifically designed for their age group.

What should I wear?


We're a church for people from all walks of life. No formal dress code is required. Please wear whatever is most comfortable for you.

Where should I park?


Our car park has plenty of space, feel free to drop any family or friends at the front door and find a park at your leisure. Address and Maps
