Wildfires Festival.. tickets going fast!
Wildfires Festival is back this July, bringing together thousands of Christians from across the UK for worship, community, teaching, and fun at Wiston Estate in West Sussex. Join the Kerith Church Village Tent, build friendships, encounter God, and be part of an unforgettable festival experience — but book soon as tickets are selling fast.
Who are you gathering with this term.. groups start this week!
Small Groups are starting this week with the Bible Course beginning Tuesday 21st and the Marriage Course launching Wednesday 29th. This term’s vision is inspired by Isaiah 54:2 — to enlarge our tent, lengthen our cords, and strengthen our stakes by welcoming more people, building deeper community, and growing stronger in God’s Word together.
More on the HK Visa conversation.
Following last Sunday’s gathering, where we heard from members of our Hong Kong community about potential changes to their visa status, we’re sharing ways to stay informed, pray, and show support. Discover helpful resources, commit to prayer as government discussions continue, and stand alongside our Hong Kong friends at Kerith.
Plan for the Week of Prayer and Fasting
Mark your calendars for Kerith Church’s Week of Prayer and Fasting, 5–10 October 2025. Together we’ll focus on “Breathing In” God’s presence and “Breathing Out” His love to the world through daily prayer, fasting, and worship gatherings. Visit kerith.church/prayer for guides, Zoom links, and full event details.

Wednesday: Our local community, Bracknell town, schools, health & wealth
9 Oct, 2024
Let’s P.R.A.Y.
P: Pause. What are the local council services near you? Take a moment today to think back to the times you have accessed them , the schools, the hospitals, the tip, the library etc
R: Rejoice. Thank God for the moments when they have been a blessing to you- thank God for the staff teams- can you name any?
A: Ask. Right now local government departments are waiting for more cuts, lets pray for the decision makers that they will make wise choices, that money will be released to support the most vunerable. That as a church community we would be engaged in our local community, acknowledging the needs around us and stepping in to be a blessing.
Y: Yield. Where there is injustice in our local systems lets choose today not to grumble but to bring light and hope and support sustainable solutions. What is God giving you ‘holy discontent’ about? Yield to your part in the solution!
Get Ready for the Big Fat Quiz 2024!
Following the success of last year’s event, our Annual BIG FAT QUIZ 2024 is back!
There’s a small group for you…
Not everyone likes the same flavours of ice-cream. Some love choc-chip, others are fans of rum and raisin (yuck!). In the same way we know that we enjoy differing ways to connect with God and others.
Worshipping together- starting something new this Sunday.
In 2 weeks time we are launching our 2 meetings at Kerith Bracknell…
An opportunity to celebrate with our community in Bracknell
For families coming out from war torn London in the 1950s, the new town of Bracknell has an incredible legacy as a place of provision - and the Kerith Centre ( ‘place of provision’ in Hebew!) is right in the middle of the town!
Creating space has begun!
Join our Creating Space Project! Starting September, we're returning to 2 Sunday meetings and need YOUR help, especially in our Youth and Kids groups. Click below for serving ideas or sign up now. Can't decide? Listen to pitches from our Host team and Creative ministries this Sunday. Let's fill up our 'Sign Up to Serve' board together!
Where can I volunteer on a Sunday?
At the start of this year, we felt called to CREATE SPACE FOR HEALTHY GROWTH by adding two morning meetings. With nearly 800 attendees on Easter alone, it's clear we need to expand across adult, youth, and children’s spaces— and yes, even in the car park!
Small Group - BIG Adventure
The Spring Small Group Term is just around the corner. Small groups will be launching the week of January 22nd and the sign-up form to lead a group has just gone live today!
Picnic Plans & World Cup Watching!
World Cup and a Picnic- a great combo for Sunday afternoon this weekend!
New faces at Kerith….
WOW- what a brilliant Sunday! Our young people did a great job of hosting church for us, such a powerful picture of how we ALL get to play our part in community here at Kerith Bracknell.

Want to grow your faith this term?
I often find that this time of year especially with Lent coming up is such a precious time to dig deeper into spiritual growth.
