CONNECT GROUPS
Connect Groups are key part of the life of the church and provide a great opportunity to pray, study the bible, have fun together and support one another.
Each group meets regularly, normally once a week or fortnightly in a variety of locations - homes, church and even a cafe!
Most groups take a break during the school holidays.We have a range of groups to meet individual needs and availability.
If you would like to join a Connect Group, please email admin@chilternchurch.org.uk and we will get back you.

Chiltern is privileged to serve hundreds of families through Tots 'n' Toys.
Tots 'n' Toys offers children the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of toys, craft activities, stories and songs in a friendly space.
There is even a special time for those 'Bundles of Joy' aged 0 - 18 months to enjoy the same on a Tuesday afternoon.
For parents and carers, Tots 'n' Toys provides a chance to chat, make friends, enjoy mutual support and encouragement, not forgetting that vital cup of tea or coffee.
Twice a year, a professional photographer attends the groups. During the summer term there is water play in an enclosed secure outside space (weather permitting).
CHILDREN
Please note that our sessions are altered in light of the current situation. Check our information page for details on what is running and how you can book to attend.
SUNDAY SPECIAL
For those coming on a Sunday morning with children, there are a range of things on offer for your kids.
-
There is a fully-equipped creche (ages 0-2) upstairs for parents with young children. There are speakers in the room (with volume controls) so you don't miss out on what's happening in the main hall. There are toys and changing facilities in the creche.
-
For the children (3-11), there is a kids club run by a fantastic team of volunteers. We will let you know in the meeting when that starts (normally shortly after the notices) and where to go (the hall adjacent to the main meeting area)
