Welcome to Mowbray Community Church. We are a community Church in Harrogate, seeking to freely worship God, love one another, and serve our neighbours locally and globally. Through our social action initiatives, Sunday services, midweek activities for all ages, pastoral visits and general church life we want to be a source of encouragement, support and spiritual insight as we love and serve our local community. The Sunday morning service is at 10am at Westmoreland Street.
We all gather in the main hall for the first part of the service and seek to celebrate God through authentic worship. As well as telling God how much we love Him, we allow God to minister to us through these times of being in his presence. If this happens, it may be through people openly sharing a prayer, a verse from the Bible, a mental picture they believe is from God or something else that is to encourage and relate to us.
Then the children and younger teens go to their classes for relevant, fun and engaging input based on the Bible. We value our younger generations very much and want them to grow in faith and love. The adults stay on in the main hall for an impactful talk from God’s word that seeks to build us into a community who love and serve others. Jesus changes us.
We then offer ministry and prayer at the end for those who want it and we nearly all linger for refreshments and chat in the foyer afterwards. We usually finish the service by 11:30 am though the subsequent catching up can last another hour or more.
