Challenge Community Church
Challenge Community Church is situated in South Wye, on Belmont Road, where we offer something to all members of our community. We have friendly volunteers that run a variety of activities to suit all ages.
Community is not just at the heart of our name, it is at the heart of our church life too and we seek to reach out and support the community around us.
Storehouse is one of the services Challenge Community Church offer. This is a ministry in which we provide groceries to those in need who are referred to us by professional intermediaries. We will then get supplies to the individual or family within 254People in need of support can be referred to the church by a professional intermediary and receive groceries within 24 hours.
Open House is our weekly drop in coffee morning, every Thursday 10am to 12pm, which is open to everyone and where people can enjoy a free hot drink and delicious cakes. This will also host our Talk Community Hub session, where our friendly volunteers will be on hand to help you connect to activities and groups and help you find out about professional, voluntary and public services available across the city and county.
Koffee and Kids is our weekly (term time only) Parent/Carer and Toddler Group for all parents and carers with children under the age of five. We offer a good range of play and craft activities for children to enjoy, along with a free snack and drink. Parents and carers can enjoy a hot drink as well. Our Talk Community Hub volunteers are also available at this session, so they can help you to find out about anything you might need to know.
Friday Family Fun is a weekly (term time only) meeting for families to gather together. We serve a light tea from 5.00 – 5.30pm and then we provide games for the children and young people to play whilst the grown ups relax over a cuppa. Toys are available for toddlers.
Who Let The Dads Out is a chance for all dads, granddads, uncles and father figures to spend time with their children, enjoying hot food, playing pool and table football, producing craft work and just enjoying being together. This is held on the last Saturday of each month and is free of charge.
Sunday Worship is the focal point of all that we do and is both informal, yet respectful of the God whom we are worshipping. Teaching is presented in a way that is understandable and easy to apply to your daily life. Children join us for the first part of the service, before enjoying learning together in age specific groups.
Whether you have many years of church experience or none at all, you are a biblical scholar or have never opened a Bible in your life, you are rich or poor, employed, unemployed or retired, able bodied or physically challenged, young, old or somewhere in between, you will be made to feel welcome, valued and loved. Our ‘Mission Statement’ is simply: “To bring people to Jesus and equip them for service in His world”.
