We are an all-age local church, established in 1990, and made up of people from all parts of the community in North Baddesley and local area. Our aim is to connect with the whole message of the Bible, helping to show us how to relate to God in 2010/11.  We passionately believe this message is not just for the church but for everyone in our neighbourhood, community and beyond! 

We are enthusiastic about following and serving God, within church activities and in all we do outside of "Sunday church".  Sunday services are "sensibly informal" – there isn’t a set format and each week might be different from the one before - with a mix of well known hymns and modern songs, talks from the Bible and opportunities for all to participate.  We have children’s Sunday School during our morning services, providing a caring and secure programme to help children grow in understanding and relationship with Jesus, age related activities include craftwork and DVD’s.   

Our ongoing experience and belief is that God is not someone far off but that He is interested in every person – that’s EVERY PERSON - and wants us to have a relationship with him, to experience his love and power.  Becoming a Christian is a radical, life changing experience—it has been since Jesus showed it himself—our experience is that this is the same now.   

Within TLC we support each other in the pattern of "family" rather than as an institution—Church is about peoples relationships with God and each other, not buildings or meetings.  We would be delighted to explain more about what we believe and introduce you to our church family.  You are very welcome to join us at any of our activities: 

Sunday        @ 10.00am Service and Sunday School  (Junior School)
                   @   6.30pm  Service (Junior School)
Tuesday      @ 10.30am  Praying for family / community (homes)
Wednesday  @   7.30pm Life Groups                             (homes)

Throughout the week we are able to visit people in their own homes—not just those who go to Church– to listen, explain how to encounter God and to pray together.
