We meet at Grace Cook Primary School on Sunday at 10:30am

We are very excited to call Grace Cook Primary School our home in Fuller Way, Chilton Leys, Stowmarket, IP14 1GG. It is a lovely facility and we meet every Sunday at 10:30am and we would love you to join us.

Our services usually contain:

  • a warm welcome, including tea/coffee and biscuits.
  • Sunday Club sessions running at the same time in the schools lovely library and led by two DBS certificated helpers. Our Sunday Club currently focuses on KS1 primary aged children but KS2 can be accommodated by the provision of age-related resources and supervision.
  • singing (worship) with live musicians or video with all the words on a big screen
  • a prayer led by one of our church family
  • teaching from the Bible
  • a final song, prayer or sometimes a chat about our theme for the day
  • we also have a prayer room for confidential prayer with anyone who would like that.
  • after the service we have the opportunity to spend time together as a church family having a catch up and getting to know one another better – and more tea/coffee and biscuits!

There is no dress code, no-one is excluded, no equipment or church experience is necessary and there is no requirement to understand the Christian faith in depth. Please just come as you are.

Thank you to all who joined us over Christmas

We had a very busy but wonderfully blessed time with lots of visitors including the Stowmarket Concert Band. An angel, Mary, Joseph, Simeon and King Herod all made appearances too as we asked the question ‘Jesus – faithful or traitor?’ The evidence that Jesus is both God and Saviour of the world is overwhelming. Why not visit us in January and February during our new series ‘The Case for Christ’?

We are looking to appoint a part-time assistant pastor with an interest in children’s work to help us build our relationships with local primary schools and develop our own children’s work at CHCC. If you are interested please give us a call on 07444 309347 or email chiltonhallchurch@gmail.com.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for The Big Quiz for Tearfund on 15th November. So far we have raised Last year you helped us to raise £362.00 for Tearfund in a fun-filled and brain-straining evening. Photo below is from last year as we forgot to take any this year!

Christianity Explored Course

Sunday Club every Sunday morning

We are delighted that we now have Sunday Club up and running at the same time as our morning service at Grace Cook School every week. Catering for primary KS1 aged children with DBS cleared leaders, fun activities and utilising the lovely library space in the school. All children welcome.

We ran this informal course last year in the home of one of our church family on Chilton Hall Estate. Preceeded by a meal together we had a wonderful time on this course exploring the good news about Jesus.
We will be holding another CE course after Easter and you can register your interest by emailing us at chiltonhallchurch@gmail.com telling us you would like to attend.
