Sundays
Every Sunday Morning at 11am in Patcham
We are passionate in how we express our love towards God, led by the worship band.
We’re a group of people who love Jesus and love each other. We serve our local community and Brighton through a variety of projects, initiatives and services that enable everyone to get to know the love of Jesus and for us to show our love for our wonderful city of Brighton.
Every Sunday Evening at 5pm in Newhaven
You are invited along to any of our services. We'd love to meet you and chat to you over a coffee.
We meet for contemporary worship, relevant bible teaching, and at regular times to celebrate communion together.
How do Sunday’s at Brighton Elim work?
Arriving
Our dedicated teams work diligently to ensure everything is prepared for your arrival at Church. They arrive early to set up and create a welcoming atmosphere just for you!
Feel free to join us anytime from 10:30am onwards. As soon as you step through the doors, you'll be greeted by friendly faces eager to make you feel at home. Take a moment to connect with others, have a pleasant conversation, or simply find a comfortable seat where you can relax and prepare for the service.
We believe that community is an essential part of the Church experience, and we want you to feel included and valued from the moment you arrive. So come as you are, and let us extend our warmest welcome to you. We can't wait to meet you!
Children
We are a family church and we want to make everyone welcome from 0-100! We believe it’s important that children are specifically catered for and so we have our children’s ministry, BN Kids, available during the morning service.
Everyone is encouraged to stay together for a family time of worship for the first 15 minutes. After this initial time, we invite the children upstairs to join our dedicated BN Kids team. Our team is passionate about creating a nurturing environment where children can participate in tailored activities, engaging games, and hear a captivating story from the Bible. It's our hope that through these experiences, they will begin to deepen their relationship with God.
If you want to know more about the children and young people’s work please contact us and someone from our team would be happy to speak with you.
Dress code
Whatever you’re comfortable in works for us! We’re an informal group and often gather with shorts, t-shirts and trainers, we may even stretch to a shirt, if we’re feeling it. If you feel better in a shirt and tie, we won’t bat an eyelid either.
Service
We’ll let you know our service is starting with a 5-minute countdown on the screen that allows us to also welcome our online church family. We always start our service with a warm welcome and will let you know what’s happening during the upcoming week. Our band leads us in sung worship with words on the screen, feel free to join in or just enjoy the music. The Bible is very important to us and Pastor Christy or guest speaker will share a word that is relevant and faith building, helping us all to grow and mature as Christians or that helps us find out more about Christianity. Our service lasts about 60 minutes and we always create a relaxed environment where everyone can feel comfortable and welcome.
Refreshments
At the end of each gathering, we serve delicious coffee, tea, squash and snacks at the reception area. This is a self-service system, but a member of the team would be happy to assist you – and its all completely free!
Access
We have disabled access through the side door, with a ramp available and plenty of space inside. Please ask a team member if you need assistance.
Safeguarding
We are a warm and friendly church who are committed to being a safe church for all. Our safeguarding policies and protocols are available to view on this website. We believe that keeping people safe is everyone’s responsibility. If anyone sees or experiences something that doesn’t seem right we encourage them to report it straight away. Feel free to contact our Safeguarding Team.
