We know it can be a bit confusing when you are new. You may be someone who has never been part of a church before, or someone wishing to hire the building. You could be a regular church member somewhere else and wanting to check us out.
Whoever you are, you are welcome here.
This page will give you everything you need to get started. Think of it as the big YOU ARE HERE arrow on a map..
Where are we?
You can find us on Bishopton Road on the corner of Bishopton Road and Patterdale Avenue – almost on a cross roads. Some people call it Amen corner as we are on the same stretch of road as the Roman Catholic Church and the former Newtown Methodist Church.
Parking
There is on street parking in the surrounding area, but we ask you to please park considerately as this is a residential area and we want to be good neighbours (please do not park on the street behind the Church). We are looking at finding ways to provide parking for events like weddings and funerals and will give more information as we arrange your date with you.
Who are we?
We are St Paul’s Church, Stockton – church can be defined as a group of followers of Jesus that are a family of servants on mission!
If you want to know more about who we are and why we believe what we believe take a look at our vision and values here.
If you want to know what this whole Christianity thing is about then contact us about our upcoming Alpha Course, where we will explore some of the big questions that we believe Jesus has the answer for.
If you are looking at the possibility of having a wedding, baptism or funeral here please use the form at the bottom of the page to connect with us or contact the office at admin@stpaulstockton.church or on 07926 549125.
When do we meet?
Currently we meet on Sunday in the church building at 9.00am and 10:30am (see our Sundays page for details) and at 9.30am on Wednesday mornings for a short communion service.
We also meet in smaller groups of 6-12 through the week in communities that share life together ( we call these LIFE GROUPS) and seek to apply the teaching of Jesus to where we are at. If you would like to know more about these then contact us for details.
We run the Alpha course, to wrestle with the big questions of life and faith, throughout the year. If you would be interested in joining us for this then connect with us using the form at the bottom of the page.
What should I expect?
Sunday Services last for about an hour and will always contain a mix of the following:
- Music and singing
- Prayer
- Bible Reading – hearing some of ‘God’s big story’
- Short Talk (15-20 minutes) – applying God’s Story to our everyday stories and encouraging us in our faith.
- Ending with Tea, coffee and the chance to get to know people.
