Please note that the below Privacy Policy relates to user registration, which is not currently in operation but will be a future phase of development.

At North Cheam Baptist Church we (will) collect different types of information about our users for the following main reasons:

To provide a useful resource in the form of an online directory of users.
To provide an interactive website where email is used to communicate with the users.
To provide a security mechanism whereby we can restrict content to certain groups of users.
To help us to improve the service we offer.

Our principles

We are absolutely committed to protecting your privacy. Our policy can be summarised in one sentence: we will not share your information with others without your consent.

We have established the following two principles:

We will respect your email privacy. You will only receive email from North Cheam Baptist Church in relation to areas you have expressly signed up for.
We will not share any individual user details (including your email address) to any third party without your consent.

What information do we collect?

We collect information on our users through registration.

The minimum information we need to register a user is your first and last name and a password. We also ask for some further, voluntary information so we can provide a richer, more useful address book.

You have control over who is able to access specific items of information. By default your personal information will be visible to other authenticated users of the site. You can change these settings from your personal profile page. Your information will be used to build the online address book and show your birthday in the North Cheam Baptist Church calendar.

What else you should know about privacy

Remember to close your browser when you have finished your user session. This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer in a public place like a library or internet cafe. You as an individual are responsible for the security of, and access to, your own computer.

Please be aware that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information over the internet that this information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information in publicly accessible online forums, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

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 our church in Ridge Road (details here) for our Sunday service starting at 10:30am. For your first visit we recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to ensure that (if driving) you get a parking space in the car park right in front of our building, and then find somewhere to sit. When you arrive at the main doors you will be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access to the service. There is a sound loop for anyone who needs it – please let one of our stewards know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There is a disabled toilet in the foyer.

Our Service

The service begins at 10:30am with a warm welcome from our minister or one of our leading team. Then follows a time of sung worship, led by our band, and often a children’s talk. This first part typically lasts approximately twenty minutes. Then, on most weeks (but see also next paragraph), children leave for their groups. The rest of the service includes a Bible-focused sermon, a little more singing, some prayer, and sometimes communion.

However, around once a month – usually on the first Sunday – the service is all-age and all the children stay together with the adults for the whole time. On these weeks we call this a ‘Community Celebration’ and all the service content is accessible for children.

Prayer is always available at the end of the service – just speak to the minister or one of our leading team if you would like this.

What about my kids?

We have a great programme lined up for children of all ages:

Crèche (0 months to 3 years). Children under 6 months are welcome but must be accompanied by their parent/grown-up at all times.
StoryKeepers (5-11 years) (3-4-year olds accepted when adult is in the church service)
Rock Solid (11-18 years)

Children start off in the main service. We really value worshipping God all together as a church family. Unless it’s our monthly all-age service, after around twenty minutes the person leading will announce that it’s time for the younger members to go to their various activities. You may go with them to drop them off if they are unfamiliar with the groups or if you are unfamiliar with the building.

The children’s group activities vary depending on the age but there is a friendly welcome, Bible stories, prayer, games, videos, quizzes, small groups, craft and hands-on activities. For StoryKeepers please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes, while the Rock Solid group find their way to the refreshments on their own!

Other Ministries

We also run a specific ministry for women and girls (age 7+) called Flourish and a monthly afternoon tea called Rendezvous for those retired. We hold an occasional Men's Breakfast. Various small groups meet during the week for Bible study, prayer and friendship. See Activities menu for further information.
