what to expect

sundays at eden

What happens when I arrive?

If you’re visiting us for the first time, we recommend arriving 5–10 minutes before the service begins so you have time to get settled.

On a Sunday, our first service starts at 10:00am and lasts approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. The second service begins at 12:30pm and is also around 1 hour and 45 minutes long.

When you arrive, you’ll be warmly welcomed at the door by our Welcome Team. They’ll be happy to provide any information you need and help you find a seat.

this is easy… wear whatever you feel comfortable in. we accept people just as they are!

we are an all-inclusive church, the building is accessible for those with disabilities.

yes, parking is available at ss peter & paul’s catholic primary school (gordon road, ilford, ig1 1sa), a 2-minute walk from the church.

on sundays, there is also plenty of free on-street parking around the church. you may park in marked bays and on single yellow lines where permitted.

on saturdays and weekdays, parking is free after 6:30pm. there are no parking restrictions on neighbouring roads; however, we kindly ask that you park considerately and avoid blocking driveways or parking too close to junctions.

What can I expect from a service?

our services include contemporary praise and worship songs. you’ll hear practical, bible-based teaching, and occasionally someone may share their personal story of faith.

there is an opportunity during the service to give financially through tithes and offerings; however, if you’re visiting, please feel no obligation to give.

after the service, you’re warmly invited to stay for refreshments and a chance to meet others. we hope you’ll find us friendly and welcoming and if anything isn’t clear, please feel free to ask. we’d be happy to help.

as christians, we believe that prayer changes things. often after the preaching we offer ‘prayer’. this usually takes place at the front of the church. prayer is also available at other times so please do not be afraid to ask.

absolutely not! we offer mid-week services, activities and groups. groups meet for friendship, study and prayer and are a great way to get to know others in the church and grow together.
