Tunbridge Wells

Every Sunday we meet for Christian worship at 10:15am, followed by tea, coffee and biscuits in our hall on Bayhall Road. Our worship includes vibrant singing, meaningful prayer and a relevant Christian message. Our worship is supported by our own choir (known as 'songsters') and a brass band. Everyone is welcome. We have a dedicated family area where children can relax and enjoy being part of our worship with their own activities while near their parents.

Clothing donations can be deposited at the designated space in our car park.
We are also able to accept donations of clothing, shoes, bric-a-brac, books, CDs and DVDs. These can be delivered to our church by appointment. 
Unfortunately, we are not able to accept furniture. We can sign-post you to other local organisations who accept these donations. 
We do not accept electrical items or duvets/pillows. 
We are unable to collect donations.

The day will include a Harvest 'Supper' in aid of raising monies for a new well to be built in Bangladesh following our time of morning worship.

An evening of brass band music using show tunes - with the bands of Tunbridge Wells and Croydon Salvation Army churches.

An important time for reflecting on our responsibility to 'Be As Christ' in our world and through our circumstances.

The day is led by Mike and Joan Parker, retired Salvation Army officers having had a world-wide ministry and leadership experience.

The days begins with coffee at 10am and finishing with worship at 4pm.

'Delving Deeper' -  Sunday Bible Study  series - 12:15 -1:15pm

As part of our 'Be as Christ' discipleship development programme, for three consecutive Sundays, three times a year, our church encourages deepening understandings of our Bible as part of the Sunday worship. Following on from our morning worship, we have a coffee fellowship time before settling ourselves for an hour of deepening understanding together. Though presented as a consecutive series, sessions are designed as stand-alone sessions for those able to come for only one or two sessions.

The next Sunday Study Series will be held on Sundays - 27th September, 4th and 11th October 2026.The study will start at approx.12.15pm in the lounge area. We will consider some of the hard sayings of Jesus, their context and meaning for us as Christians in a modern world. Everyone is welcome to stay with a coffee, spending time with other Christians in delving deeper into core Bible truths in helpful conversations.
