Dates for your Diary

By Lauren McCabe, 02 Sep 2024

As the kids head back to school, our mid-week groups start up again. At Church by the Bay, we love welcoming people - whether that be to church on a Sunday morning or to our regular mid-week groups.

Here are some dates for your diary for when we re-start:

• Tuesday 10th September - Pop Up Cafe
• Thursday 12th September - Babygrows
• Monday 16th September - C3 Youth

You can find out more about these below:

Baby Grows is a group for Mums, Dads and Carers with babies aged 0-3 years and siblings. We enjoy Bible story time, snacks, drinks, craft and music time together. For more information email   It's Thursdays, 9:15 - 10:30am at our church building - 91 Balmoral Road.

Pop-Up Cafe is on Tuesday mornings term-time 9am to 10:30am, at Church by the Bay (91 Balmoral Road) and is free and for all ages. 

Tea, coffee and squash, and toasted tea cakes are served between 9am and 10am and you can stay for as long or as short as you’d like. Dietary requirements are catered for and there is easy access to facilities to warm baby food or to make up bottles.

Cafe is an accessible and welcoming place for all - young and old alike.  If you are a parents or carer we provide children play with quality, age-appropriate toys (some of the organisers have pre-schoolers themselves!).

At 10am there’s biscuits and a short story from the Bible, followed by a fun craft. And then more free time to play with toys for the kids and another cup of tea for the older ones!

Our Youth Group is every Monday in term time 6pm until 7:10pm at our church building, 91 Balmoral Road. We have some fun and games together, snacks and then look at a bit of the bible and see what God has to say and how it impacts us.

Young people don't have to go to church to attend, we welcome all to come along and see what we're about. If you have young people you'd like to join us, drop us a message on
