Preach

We value good Bible teaching and the sharing of the gospel and are blessed to have a team of enthusiastic God loving speakers who share from scripture. Our talks follow themes or strurtures over a number of weeks and are delivered in a variety of styles unique to the person sharing.

These talks are usually followed by ministry time where you will get the opportunity to receive prayer or to pray for those around you.

Communion

We share in Holy Communion on the second Saturday of each month and have sacraments which are suitable for those with allergies and intolerances.

Questions & Answers

  • All members of our Kidzone and Youthzone teams have a DBS check made by church and have undertaken online safeguarding training via https://thirtyoneeight.org. and in-person safeguarding training which covers CVM specific processes including sign-in/out processes, vulnerable adults and risk assessments.

    We do everything we can to ensure that CVM is as safe a possible but if you have any safeguarding questions or concerns please reach out to the Kidzone or Youthzone coordinator. Alternatively you can email safeguarding@cvmchurch.co.uk

    Risk assessments are completed for all activities involving children and vulnerable adults.

  • Yes! You are very welcome to join us at one of our Saturday meetings - even if it’s only a one-off visit.

    You can belong before you believe - irrespective of your background or beliefs we would love to journey with you in getting to understand the Bible and knowing Jesus as your own personal saviour but feel free to find community and belong first.

    Every week there is free food, drink and children’s / youth work. If you don’t have a Bible but would like one then we’d love to give you one for free too.

  • Clothing is mandatory at CVM and we are happy for anyone attending to dress in a way that makes them feel at home and comfortable.

  • We are blessed to be a church that is as diverse as the area we serve. At the heart of Prestwich we are represented by a community of people of all ages and backgrounds.

    We are also a community that speaks many languages including:

    • English

    • American

    • French

    • German

    • Hungarian

    • Russian

    • Farsi

    • Portugese

  • Yes! We want everyone to feel included irrespective of any medical / dietary requirements. So our cafe team ensure that we have a good range of free from food and drinks available including milk substitutes and gluten free pizza.

    We take communion together each month and when we do, we use sacraments which are suitable for all so that nobody needs to miss out.

    If you have any specific requirements that you thin might not be covered, speak to the cafe or setup teams.

  • We believe that financial giving is an important part of being in a church community as ministry costs money and enables us to serve our community better….

    ..but we are also incredibly aware that for many this can be a difficult subject.

    For this reason we will not ask for money on a Saturday but opportunities to support us financially will be available.

    Once you have found your home at CVM we would be happy to talk to you about how you can support us and how money is spent should you have any questions.
