What Is Christianity?

The message at the heart of Christianity is pretty simple. Find out what it's all about in this two-minute video. At the bottom of the page there are details on how to ask any questions you may have.

Christianity Explored Course

We’re a church where questions are always welcome. We run this 5-week course each term specially for you if you are an atheist, have doubts, or you just want to learn the basics of the Bible.

Welcome...

Come and join us...

Hello, my name is Barnaby, and I am the Pastor here at Lancing Tab. The aim of this website is just to give you a flavour of who we are and what we're about as a church.

	We’re a church for the whole community in and around Lancing. Come as you are whatever doubts and questions you have.
	As a church family, we all face different challenges, but we believe the Bible’s message about Jesus’ love and rescue are what we most need.
	We meet at our building on North Road (next to the Co-op) at 10.30am each Sunday. It’s free and informal with tea, coffee, and kids’ groups.

There is limited street parking around the Tab. A public car park in North Farm Road is a two-minute walk. The charges for the cark park are £1 on Sundays.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There are disabled toilets available.

Sundays...

Our 10:30am service is simple and informal and normally runs for just over an hour. People wear anything from T-shirts to suits. You are welcome to bring kids of any age.

We do the following:

Share news – because we’re a family.
Sing – because we love God.
Confess sin – because we don’t want to pretend, we’re anything but people in need of grace.
Look at the Bible – because that’s how we listen to God.
Pray – to ask God for his help.
We might have a baptism or take the Lord’s supper - to celebrate Jesus’ rescue.
We have coffee afterwards - to take real time together.

What about my kids?

We love having the noise of lively children – so don’t worry! They stay for the first 15 minutes of the service and then head to some excellent groups. (Link to Itab) Creche (0-3), 4-10s group, and 11-15s group. Older teens stay in the service.

Children stay with their parent or grown-up at the start of the service for the welcome, songs and notices. We really value worshipping God all together as a family. At the end of the notices someone will announce that it’s time for the younger members to go to their various groups.

The kids group activities vary depending on the age but usually there is a friendly welcome, bible stories, testimonies, praying, music, craft, drama, fun games, and free play. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes.

If you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team.

More than a Sunday...

While Sundays are a fantastic way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our pastoral groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet during the week, some daytime, and some evenings.

	Kid’s club (£1 per child) Reception to year 6 Wednesday 6-7pm, term time Lots of fun. Bible stories. Hide and seek. Sports. Tuck shop!
	Toddler group (£1 entry) Wednesday 10-11.15am, term time. Toys, craft, and songs. A chance for parents to meet and chat and have a cup of coffee.
	Youth group (£1 entry) School years 7-11 Wednesday 7.30pm, term time. Lots of fun. Opportunities to ask questions about the Christian faith. Games, trips to the beach, camping and much more!
	Older people’s group Tuesday fortnightly, 10.30am. Hymns, prayer, Bible talk, coffee, and biscuits. A great place for friendship - all welcome.
