Life at Abbey

Abbey Church meets as one of two congregations, Hillview and Abbey Churches. We have one leadership, a group of Elders, supported by Deacons who look after practical matters and Ministry Teams that cover every area of church activity.

The first Sunday morning every month is called ‘Now and Then Sunday’  and is especially for those who go to church now and then. It aims to explore what it means to be a Christian. ‘Now and Then Sunday’ begins at 10.30am and lasts for 1 hour. Other Sundays in the month (10.30 – 12.00) are times of worship and teaching for those who are exploring the Christian faith, as well as anyone who believes in Jesus for themselves.  Of course all are welcome to these services.
Activities for children run in parallel with this service. There is a crèche for children under 3 years of age.

On the first and third Sundays of each month we also have a Worship and Communion evening service at 6.30pm when we remember Jesus and His sacrifice for us. Everyone is welcome at this service.

We also have Life Matters once a quarter on a Wednesday, which is teaching on topical issues for Christians today. For this we meet at Hillview Church, Colwell Avenue, Hucclecote, Gloucester.

Fellowship is expressed by our commitment and love for each other. This is sometimes easier to express in small groups, so we allocate every member to a Home Group. These meet about 3 times a month in homes. Prayer is the powerhouse of the church. We encourage every member to pray privately using the Church’s monthly Prayer Diary and Prayer Points on the weekly bulletin. We pray in our Home Groups and all-together at our Worship and Prayer meeting which is on the first Tuesday evening of each month.
