Eco Church

QMC began the Eco church Award scheme some years ago now, because, as a collective of Christians, we knew it was the right path we should be following to better live out our faith. To help combat biodiversity loss, pollution and climate change through spiritually led actions at church and everyday life.

Focusing our attention on progress within the five categories of:

 

1)    Worship & teaching

2)    Building & energy

3)    Land & nature

4)    Community & global engagement

5)    Lifestyle

We are one of over 9000 collective church families wrestling with just how best we can do our bit. Each little action adding to the beautiful growing Eco Church tapestry. Lovingly safeguarding life on earth until our Saviour's return.  

We achieved our Silver Eco Church Award in January 2023 and are currently working towards our Gold Award.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Welcome

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at the Church Building (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 11am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team.

We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the service. Our welcome team will be on hand to introduce you to others in the congregation. 

Accessibility: The building is level throughout so those who require wheelchair access should not experience any difficulties. There is an accessible toilet in the main corridor that links the worship area to the church hall.
We are unable to install a sound loop due to the overhead pylons but will do our best to ensure those with hearing difficulties are seated in an appropriate position. 
We project song words, prayers and other liturgy onto the screens at the front of church. If you would prefer to use printed copies then these can be provided.

Our Sunday Service

The morning service begins at 11am with a welcome from one of our church stewards and will normally aim to finish by 12 noon. Worship is led by our own minister, another of the Circuit ministers or lay preachers. This will typically include hymns from Singing the Faith, and other worship songs, prayers and bible readings. It is usual for the preacher appointed to offer a reflection on the bible readings. 
Once a month we have a service of Holy Communion which makes use of seasonal liturgies from the Methodist Worship Book. All are welcome to receive bread and wine as part of the service.

What about children?

Once a month we have an All-age service at 11am on a Sunday which includes activities intended to support people with different ways of learning, On other Sundays we have toys and activities available for children in  a dedicated corner within the worship area.

On the third Sunday of the month we also offer Together Worship, in addition to our morning service. This is held at 4pm and is intended to offer all ages another opportunity to worship together.
