PRAYER MEETINGS We welcome you to join us for Prayer on a Sunday 10.00 am and every Tuesday Morning from 11.30 am. THANK YOU A huge thank you to everyone who supports the ministry of OCC and to everyone who generously gave financially on Sunday. If you still want to give towards the boxes sent from the church, mark your giving as 'Shoeboxes'. If you would like to fill your own boxes, there is a tabletop sale in the coffee area after the service. COMING UP We have our Autumn giving week starting Sunday 27th September. Please prayerfully consider what you can give as we continue to grow, build and have a greater impact in our community. Thank you! PARTY TIME Join us on Saturday 26th September for Sarah's 50th celebration.

Please note, this event is for those who come to the church and not for the general public, although you can bring along your family and friends.

Where & when does the church meet?

Our Church meets every Sunday at 10.30am for Sunday Service. Aim to arrive 10 minutes early to get parked and find a seat in time for the service to start.

We meet at:

River of Life Christian Life Centre
2 Carr Road, Felixstowe, IP11 2FS

You can see a map on our Contact us page.

There is plenty of parking available on the site.

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm welcome particularly from our Welcome Team who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go. There will be approximately 45 mins of singing with opportunity for church members to pray or read a passage from the bible. After the notices there will be a spiritual message from one of the leaders at the Church with a chance to respond at the end of the service.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are normally served after the service where there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

What happens to the children at church?

We have a fantastic programme for children at the Church for ages 0 thru 17. Children stay with their parents at the start of the service as we worship (sing songs!) together for the first part of the morning. An announcement is made when it's time for children to join their programmes. Children need to be registered.

For more information about programmes and age groups, please refer to the relevant pages under the main menu heading "Ministries".

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

Will I have to join in?

Not at all!
You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
