Grace Christian Fellowship - Church Services



GCF is an independent, Holy Spirit filled, Bible based church meeting in Norwich, England, UK. We are a lively church which is seeking to preach and practice the 'full gospel' of Jesus Christ. All our church services include preaching or teaching from the Bible, together with lively praise and worship. All are welcome. The church is a member of the Evangelical Alliance, (www.eauk.org) and part of registered charity 'Hope Community Trust'. Currently GCF is meeting at Hellesdon High School for it's Sunday morning services, which start at 11am.
GCF Service Times
Morning Worship and Preaching - 11.00am
Prayer Meeting - Thursday 7.30pm
Singing - At each service we sing a selection of songs. We sing because it is a way of expressing what we believe and a reflection of the joy and grattitude we have towards God, for His working in our lives.
Prayer - At the beginning and end of each service we pray, to respect the fact that God is amongst us. We may also pray together in the service for needs we have, or some people may feel they want to express a prayer of personal thanksgiving.
Reading the Bible - When we come together we will read some passages from the Bible. This reminds us of what God has done and shows us what he will do. the Word is important so that we know how to live our lives in a way that is pleasing to God. We therefore think it is important to both read it and respect it.
Preaching or Teaching - When we meet on a Sunday, a portion of the service is given over to preaching or teaching. It generally lasts about 35 minutes and in it we learn about how to live our lives, overcome difficulties, and know God in a deeper way.
The Collection or Offering - At every service we take up a collection. This is to pay for the building and the financial needs of the church. No one is obliged to give anything if they cannot, or do not want to. We feel that to give something back to God is also a good way to say thank you for all the things that we are blessed with every day.
