Services & Fellowships

Not able to get to your church because of travel difficulties or on holiday, having moved away or just simply a bit lonely. Maybe wanting to try church but unwilling to enter a building.

Then the Church of the Living Stream could be your answer and is just a click away. In fact we have worked hard to ensure joining us is easy.

The Church of the Living Stream was born out of the need to keep worshipping during the initial covid Lockdown, thus we developed a very distinctive Zoom Service and committed to on-line worship. Because of its interactive nature, if anything our fellowship deepened during Lockdown.

The format is not the broadcasting or streaming of a traditional hymn/prayer sandwich. It is a forty-minutes interpersonal worship experience, where we can see each other and join in fellowship. Usually, we have just two hymns with meaningful illustrations verse by verse. Prayers and readings are delivered by several different individuals within each service and there is time for conversation before and after the worship. We have those who take part in such a manner and those who prefer to just join us in fellowship.

We are no longer limited by geography and we are able to reach out to people in care homes, hospital, as well as the housebound. We are able to retain contact with friends who have moved away from the area or are on holiday. The Sunday services are open to all and joining us is simply a click away.

We are an open church, there is no further commitment in joining our service. You can just join us for one Sunday or become a regular. You can even join us as audio only so you are not visible to others.

If you are unable to attend your local church due to travel constraints,
relocation, or personal reasons such as loneliness or reluctance to enter a
church building, the Church of the Living Stream offers an accessible
alternative. Our online platform was established in response to the initial
COVID-19 lockdown, enabling us to continue worship through a unique
Zoom service designed for interactive participation.

Joining our congregation is straightforward—simply select your preferred
time and follow the provided link. Unlike traditional broadcast services, our
sessions emphasize interpersonal engagement, allowing participants to see
one another and actively join in worship and fellowship. Each service
typically includes hymns, enhanced with illustrative commentary, and
features prayers and readings delivered by various members of the
congregation. Time is allocated before and after the service for conversation
and connection.

Our community extends beyond geographic boundaries, reaching individuals
in care homes, hospitals, and those who are housebound. We also maintain connections with members who have relocated or are traveling. The Sunday
service is open to everyone, with no obligation beyond participation—you
may join for a single session or become a regular attendee. For greater
privacy, audio-only participation is also available.

Every Wednesday morning at 10.30 we have an on-line fellowship where people can see and talk to each other on Zoom. This grew out of a conventional house fellowship during the lockdown period when we were unable to meet in person.

Typically on a Wednesday about a dozen people participate: we usually have three pre-selected items such as hymns or poems which we read; a different person reading each verse out loud.

There is also a time of prayer, for people we know and for the world in general. The “people specific” parts of this will not be on the webcast.

If you would like a copy of the script for the week, please email

Wednesday fellowship aims to bring people together and think about aspects of faith in a semi-structured and unserious way.

Prayer Meetings

We hold online prayer meetings on Zoom. They are used to pray for specific situations and people. They can be held anytime but are usually in the half hour before the Sunday Service.

If you have particular concerns or would like us to pray for something please let us know.
