Family Church at Four

Since 2019 Sam and a small team have been working with people in their 20s - 40s and their children in Coulby Newham, Easterside, Marton and beyond to start a New Worshipping Congregation.

Family Church at Four

Join us on Sunday afternoons for Family Church at Four. We meet at St Cuthbert’s Marton Parish Centre at 4pm. The services are informal and interactive and are aimed at families.

Each week is based on a story from the bible. We have a craft, an active game, and lots more fun. Scroll through the photos below or have a look at our Facebook or Instagram to see what we’ve been up to recently. You’d be really welcome to come and visit us, we’d love to meet you in person!

The Story So Far

We delivered ‘Church in a Bag’ to families around Coulby Newham throughout 2020 and early 2021 after Covid postponed our launch. Each week’s bag was based on a bible story, with games, craft materials and suggestions for prayer and reflection activities. In March 2021 Church in a Bag became Church in a Building. After meeting in person for over 3 years it was time for a new name. In September 2024 we became Family Church at Four.

Coming Up

Here are the events we’ve got coming up. You can also see the church calendar here.
