What is Breakfast@9?

B@9 is a family friendly, cafe-style church service held in the Canford Magna Centre (our modern hall, next to the Parish Church) each Sunday. We welcome families and individuals of all ages and stages of their faith journey - whether you are exploring Christianity or are a long-standing disciple. We follow the same teaching series as the 10:30 service but format the message in a more interactive way to make it easier for all ages to engage with.

What can you expect?

The timing

The service is kept to an hour long, starting with breakfast and finishing at 10am.

A visual timetable is shown below to help outline the service

The vibe

The service is short and interactive, featuring a quick “lightning craft” each week. Ribbons and instruments are available for use during the songs.

The food

The service starts with a simple breakfast of cereals, toast and croissants. Gluten and dairy free alternatives are available, so please do ask!

The setting

Relaxed and informal. Families tend to sit together at tables, though the youth regularly congregate on their own!
