What Sundays are like for us...

Meeting together is an important part of living as a Christian; encouraging each other, worshiping God together and getting equipped to go out and serve in our jobs, families, schools.  We meet together each Sunday from 10:30-11:45am.  We start with a time of worship together,  before the children & young people head out to their groups around 11.  The adults stay in for a biblical talk from one of our speaking team.  We serve coffee from 11:45-12:15.  We regularly take communion together. 

We Livestream our Sunday services most weeks, which means come and take a look what we're about without even leaving your living room!  Find out more here.

We meet in the Main Hall at Gordano School, St Mary's Road, Portishead, BS20 7HA, 10:30-11:45 with coffee & biscuits afterwards.

For children and young people...

We love children and young people at GVC and enjoy having them as part of our family.  We know that everyone learns differently, so we have different groups during the main services where they can learn through games, discussion, fun and with snacks!  We want everyone to be fully engaged in church, so we are delighted for young people to join our worship, sound, refreshments and welcoming teams.
