Prayer
Prayer is an essential part of the life and ministry of Himley Road. It also plays an important part in many different groups that meet within the life of the church. We hold a weekly prayer meeting on Wednesdays from 7.15pm. All are welcome.

Worship - Sunday
Morning- 10.45am - Evening - 6.00pm
Worship is at the heart of all we do. We aim to offer a variety of worship styles and experiences to meet the needs of different people - but always seeking to be honouring to God and focussed on his Word.

Morning worship is often led by a worship leader and we welcome both local and visiting preachers. The morning tends to be more informal than the evening, though there is variety within both services. We welcome worship songs and hymns - both old and new. Music varies from music group and singers to organ and keyboard. Holy Commnion is celebrated each month at various times.  

Home Groups
There are several home groups that meet at various times of the day, including Monday afternoons - Wednesday evenings and Thursday evenings. These groups provide an opportunity to study the Bible together, to talk together and to pray. If you would like to know more or to be part of a group then please contact Steve on 01902 883331 for further details.

After Alpha
