Everyone is welcome to our services, and we are always delighted to see newcomers in any of our churches. We welcome members of other Christian churches to receive Holy Communion or, if you feel more comfortable, please come forward with the rest of the congregation to receive a blessing.
If you are unable to get to church, members of Church at Castle will visit you at home, and the Ministry Team will gladly arrange for Communion to be given at home to anyone who wishes it.
