A team of volunteers from Seagate Church and St Meddans Parish Church join together once a fortnight to lead a short Sunday service at a local care home. This is an initiative from Troon Churches Together. The residents who regularly join us are from different Christian denominations and church backgrounds. Being conscious of this, we try to use a mixture of traditional hymns and more modern choruses so each person can worship in a way in which they feel closest to God. We share a short bible reading, a mini sermon and always include prayers throughout the service. It is encouraging to see the same smiling faces return each time we visit, to hear them singing with all their hearts and to see how much we mean to them. For more information, please speak to Hannah.
On Friday evenings during term time, girls in S1-S6 meet in Seagate Church at 7:30pm for a group called ‘Friday Faith Gang.’ It was started several years ago as a way of discipling girls who felt they would benefit from a more in-depth study of the Bible in a smaller and quieter setting. For more information, please speak to Janette.

mainly music is a Christian preschool ministry based in Australia, with groups running in various churches by subscription around the world. Seagate Church have been running mainly music since August 2016. Sessions run on Thursday mornings during term time and consist of a 30-minute music and movement session, with designed educational benefits, followed by a snack time for the kids. Then there’s a time of Eat/Play/Chat where the team play alongside the children with various toys, leaving the adults to enjoy home baking and tea/coffee whilst chatting with each other and building good friendships and support networks. Special occasions such as birthdays, Easter, Christmas, Mothers & Fathers Days are celebrated as part of the mainly music curriculum. Throughout the session, children develop gross and fine motor skills, language, imagination, maths and pre-reading skills as well as socialise with others. Each mainly music session is run by volunteers and includes some well-known songs and rhymes, as well as mainly music originals – some of which give families a chance to think about the God-part of life.
Currently around twenty families attend mainly music each week and there is a long waiting list! For more information, please speak to Kirsty or Ruth.

This course represents a vital step in our mission to bring healing and restoration to broken lives. It’s grounded in biblical principles, using craft, discussion and friendships to reinforce and explore the truth of God’s word. It offers a pathway to wholeness for those grappling with past hurts and struggles. Through art, sewing, decoupage, journalling, reflection, and group support, participants are empowered to embrace forgiveness, find inner peace, and discover their worth in Christ. We aim to run this course twice a year with the potential of a follow up small group focussed on bible journalling. For more information, please speak to Judy or Elizabeth.

Our worship team lead us in praise and Bible based sermons are delivered by our own Pastor, elders, church members or visiting speakers. Communion is taken during the service on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month. The Family Service usually runs till 12:15/12.30pm. Tea, coffee and biscuits are served after the service and we encourage people to stay and catch up with friends and to get to know others in the church. This service is also usually livestreamed to Youtube (Seagate Church)
Small groups are a vital part of life at Seagate Church. These small groups are places where people can form deep friendships, pray and study the Bible together, and encourage one another to grow deeper in their love and knowledge of Jesus Christ. They are also places to find a supportive community who can help in times of need and there might be lots of coffee, cake and laughter too. There are currently 11 groups running over various days, times and venues. Some meet virtually while others meet in person. Further information is available from admin@seagatechurch.org.uk
