If you are a visitor I would like to welcome you to our website and tell you a little about our church fellowship

Is it worth coming to a church like ours? Yes!

Our Church Family

Let me start by telling you a little bit about the cacc family. We are part of a worldwide movement of approximately 15 million people in around 165 countries who follow Jesus and who prefer to be called Christians rather than be known by any other label.

Our church family includes people of all ages and abilities and a wide variety of social and economic backgrounds. We are quite a mixture of people, united by our love of God and desire to try and live our lives the way Jesus taught us.

What do we do?

Of course, we do all the sorts of things you would expect a church to do. We hold a variety of church services which are contemporary in style, though we can do formal and traditional when the occasion demands it! The Sunday service  starts at 10.30am and is generally quite laid back with little formality and no dress code. Hopefully, you will find the services and the teaching spiritual, inspiring, informative, challanging, uplifting and fun. It can be an opportunity to take time out from a busy schedule and a frantic world, and allow you to recharge you spiritual batteries and experience something of the presence and power of God and the fellowship of His people.

Can anyone attend?

Of course. There is a lot of laughter in our church, especially during the services! We also like to involve as many people in the running of the church as possible, including the kids. So there is a place to belong and a role for everybody no matter what your ability. The best thing is, you come as you are. It doesn't matter what your spiritual background is, and whether you have faith or not. Perhaps you used to go to church but have not been for a long time, or perhaps you have been hurt in the past and are sceptical about the christians, the church or God. Well, we are not perfect. If you want a perfect church, don't come to us, you will be very disappointed. What we can promise is that you will be accepted here. But, you have to accept us with all our faults too!

Kids of all ages are welcome, as are people with disabilities, special and/or educational needs. We try our best to accomodate all people's needs within what is possible given our resources. We also take safeguarding our children, young people and vulnerable adults very seriously indeed. if you have special needs of any description, talk to us and we will do our best to accomodate your needs.

Fellowship and Fun

We hold various groups to try and bring people together in fellowship, to help people to seek God and to strengthen people's faith. Our groups include people at all stages of their spiritual journey and we are happy to journey with you.

One thing we do very well, are social activities, generally including food! Jesus went to parties and provided people with food at picnics and BBQs, and we like to follow His example. If you don't feel ready to attend one of our services or groups, you can still come along to our social activities and get to know us that way.

In the Community

We also like to support the community. At one time, the church was the centre of the community. Today the church is generally on the periphery of the community. We aim to a be a centre for the community in Wigston. Our building is used by various charitable and community groups and by other community activities such as keep fit and karate. A recent addition is hosting a daily project working with people who have learning disabilities. As a church, we want to become more invovled in our community.

Why not pop in and get to know us?

Whatever you come along to, service or social, our hope is that you will feel welcome, accepted as you are, and safe. We also hope that in time you will be able to share your journey with us. if you don't fancy coming to a service, why not drop in for a chat and a drink at our free weekly coffee bar (Friday 10am - 12pm). See the map below. We have free parking.
