Services

We have a service at 9am each Sunday. Our services follow the Church of England's liturgy fairly closely (either using Common Worship or the Book of Common Prayer). For the current schedule, see the calendar below.

Visitors and newcomers are very welcome. We are usually a small congregation in a decent-sized building so there is plenty of space. We would love to see you.

If you are unable to join us in-person at St Mary's, please join our Zoom service with St. Nicholas Bathampton at 10:45 every Sunday. For more details, see here.

Recordings of previous sermons can be found on our YouTube channel here.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

St Nicholas’ Bathampton is a church family to which all are welcome. We meet together to help us to get to know Jesus better, enjoy friendship with each other, and reach out in service to our community. We want to encourage each other to live radically transformed lives of faith and love.

You're very welcome to join us at any of our services. St Nicholas’ meets at the parish church by the canal bridge for our Sunday Service starting at 10:45am. Coffee is served after the service. Junior Church on Sunday is for school-aged children from 4-14 years old. We spend the first 15-20 minutes in church with the adults before going to our groups for about 40 minutes.

The church is open everyday from 10am to 3pm except Mondays and Saturdays for visitors to the Arthur Phillip display and for prayer. Please do contact our church administrator for a special visit on office@stnicholasbathampton.org.uk.

Please do take a look at our Visitor Information Leaflet.

Home Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have two groups that meet on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Check out Home Groups to find out more, or we can put you in touch with a home group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.
