Accessibility
You are welcome, you are wanted, you belong
We believe church should be accessible for everyone, and actively work to reduce barriers to enable God’s people to engage, regardless of physical need, disability or neurodivergence.
For physical needs
Mobility: Ramp access to both buildings. Disabled toilets and baby change are available in the CMC. There are disabled parking bays both in the CMC car park and in front of the West End of the church. There are several spaces within the church building, alongside the pews, that can accommodate either a wheelchair or more supportive seating.
Auditory: A hearing loop is active in both buildings
Visual: In the Parish Church, there are several large TV screens positioned around the pews so even if you are seated further back, there will be a screen nearby showing the words, and a camera feed from the front aisle. If you need enlarged words, please do speak to one of the vergers when you arrive.
For hidden needs
God made all of us wonderfully unique. We warmly welcome individuals and families with hidden needs and celebrate multisensory expressions of faith and the freedom to simply “be”.
To help you chose the environment that suits you best, we offer two distinct service styles.
-
Held in the Parish Church, this service offers a calmer and more structured environment. Whilst the church building is historic, carpets help to reduce echo and quieter seated areas are available.
-
A smaller, interactive and family-focused space where movement and practical engagement is available and encouraged!
There is a visual timetable of both a typical B@9 and 10:30 service on the services page.
If you would like to attend a service but have a specific concern or need that we could help you with, please do talk to us, using the button at the top of the page.
