St Aldates Church

St Aldates is a lovely Church that has fantastic Bible-centric teaching. The services are very relaxed with free coffee afterwards to meet new people. I've always felt very welcome and at home since first coming to the Church. The morning service is has a real mixture of people from students to families and the evening and late services have a younger vibe.

I particularly like the strong outreach to the community including people who are homeless and those in prison - it really is a Church for all filled with God's love.

Being such a big Church, over 1000 people visiting each week, it can be hard to establish friendships but once you've joined a pastorate (one of the small groups meeting around the county), you feel right at home.

Wonderful church with friendly staff and congregation

Great welcome. Warm atmosphere. Simple, honest, evangelical worship. No hard sell and good coffee too. Great place to explore faith or just seek support.

Great people. Fantastic children's church. Warm welcome. Great speakers. Everyone welcome

Such a warm welcome and great vibe. Went to the 12pm service and it had such a lovely atmosphere and God's presence evident. Worship was modern, very well mixed and heartfelt. It was such a great sermon and service, thank you. So glad my daughter (1st year student) has found you.

I worship here every Sunday. Each service is so inspiring. Moving encouraging. Giving all the affirmations I need. The lesson always enthrall me. The singing in worshippers is my joy, it's so uplifting in spirit and we really gibe it upto God. Within this church,personally miracles have been achieved. I've had encounters with the Holy Spirit on more than one occasion . I've received prayer healing which has always had amazing results. I've made some good friends. Both of old as well as recently. It's a church that encourages us to connect with each other. Which for someone like myself is in isolates situation, means so very much.

I was disappointed. Too much like going to the theatre - HTB on tour! I want to have a sense of being in the place where God is present and all I saw were actors performing. Too cerebral. Must be difficult to do this though. Thank you for the ice cream. Also the guy at the door was kind yo me as I was a traveller and had a suitcase.

This church has been family during the 20+ years I’ve been here. They’ve done an amazing job during lockdown to still minister and build community. You can visit a service now from anywhere in the world.
