At Ruddington Baptist Church we aim to provide a place for all to come and worship God. We believe that God can be encountered in a variety of ways through services which include sung worship, teaching, prayer and communion but also in our socialising through shared activities. Our weekly services are not only a place for regular church goers to worship but a point of connection with our local community and with the work of God around the world.
Every Sunday morning we have a presence at St Peter’s Rooms from 10:30am and we have a rolling pattern each month:
Week 1: Community Sunday
This week we aim to be present in our local area whilst building community with one another. We gather around a range of different activities from bike rides, to litter picking, to coffee. cake and a chat at St Peter’s Rooms. These are great opportunities for people to access the church and make new friends in a relaxed and fun environment. In each of these activities we take a few moments to pause for a short thought, discussion or prayer.

Week 2: Sunday Service
This week follows a more conventional model of church service including sung worship, teaching and prayer. In our services we aim to provide a welcoming, relaxed and safe space where all are encouraged to join in with the worship of God. We invite people contribute by singing, speaking, praying and sharing out loud if they want to. But equally people are more than free to sit quietly and join in as they feel able. We tend to have a social time over tea and coffee at the end of the service.
Week 3: Online and Café style Service
On a week 3 we meet in a café style. We sit around tables and enjoy tea and coffee and occasionally we share breakfast together. On a week 3 we put our energy into producing an online service for our local community which normally includes an interview with a local person such as a headteacher, counsellor, business owner, pub landlord etc. We use this video during our café service to guide our prayers, discussions and teaching. We have found this an excellent way to link our Sunday worship with the very real needs of our local community.
Our monthly online service can also be found each month on our news page:
