Frequently Asked
Questions
Q. Are you a sound or faithful church?
A. Would any church say, "No, we're not a sound church"? If you have a specific question about our worship or work, then please e-mail us.
Q. Are any of your members able to put up visiting brethren?
A. Yes, if the rooms are available.
Q. Do
you meet in an upper room?
A.
No.
Q. Do
you use one cup or multiple cups?
A. We use one cup. We believe that it is Scriptural to use one cup or multiple cups. We are a small congregation and only when it became impractical to use one cup might we consider the alternative. As for health concerns, we have a letter from the British Medical Association (BMA) assuring us that there is little chance of the transmission of disease passing around the one cup. If you are squeamish or still worried about the transmission of germs from the bread and the cup, we may be able to serve you first.
Q. Do you use musical
instruments in your worship?
A. No.
Q. Are you a conservative or
liberal church?
A. The terms ‘conservative’ and ’liberal’ mean different things to different people and one man’s conservative church may be another man’s liberal church. Therefore, we simply describe ourselves as ‘a church of Christ.’ We do, however, seek Scriptural authority for all that we do (Colossians 3:17). If you have a specific question, then please e-mail us.
Q. To which colleges and
brotherhood papers do you subscribe?
A. The church does not identify or align itself with any college or preaching school, nor do we support or subscribe to any brotherhood magazine.
Q. Do you have an evening meeting?
A. No. This is for two reasons: firstly, due to financial constraints, and secondly, it is impractical because of the distance members have to travel.
Q. Do you have Bible classes for adults and children?
A. Yes. We usually have classes at 11:30 am. The adults remain in the main hall and the children have their class in the back room. There is only one class for children of all ages because we only have one teacher.
Q. Can someone pick me up from the airport when I arrive and take me to the airport when I leave?
A. Probably not. (i) All the brethren live quite a long way from both Heathrow and Gatwick airports (ii) Only a few brethren have cars (iii) It really will be a lot quicker to take the tube (subway) to where you are staying.
Q. Can someone take me sightseeing?
A. Probably not. With the greatest respect, we have many visitors passing through and taking visitors on sightseeing tours is time consuming and expensive.
Q. If I arrive late and miss the Lord's Supper, can someone serve it to me after services?
A. No one will serve it to you but you are welcome to take the bread and fruit of the vine into the back room and partake of it yourself. Just ask one of the men.
Q. I am a first-time visitor... can I just turn up or do I need to make an appointment or something?
A. Anyone (Christian or not) is welcome to come along to our services at any time. You will be warmly welcomed.
