a warm and welcoming church with a mixture of traditional and modern styles of worship
J Club
We have a vibrant section for young people at Providence - a significant number of youngsters of all ages, and a good number of leaders who support our work.
Each Sunday morning the J Club joins the main church for the first part of the worship up in church before leaving to have it own time of worship.
We usually begin our worship in song and prayer before having a game or a story. After that we go to our groups for bible study, or to prepare for a forthcoming service. After the groups we all join together for our closing prayers.
J Club comprises "little j", "big J" and "J2Go"
