Join us this for our Sunday meeting!

Are you looking for a church near you? We love Sunday meetings and ours are easy to access wherever you live in Newcastle or Gateshead. Every week we gather as a family to worship & encounter Jesus, and everyone is welcome. We would love you to find a place to call home here!

What to expect

Our Sunday church meeting starts at 10:30am we worship together through songs and taking communion, then hear teaching from the Bible and finish with some space to pray and reflect on what you have heard that morning. Our church meeting finishes at 12:15am. You can expect a brew and a very warm welcome when you arrive, and at the end most people stay around for a time to chat and connect as a church family - we’d love for you to stay around to say hello, again over drinks and snacks.

Absolutely anyone and everyone is welcome to join us, whatever your background, beliefs or you could have been to church a hundred times or never in your life - we’d love to see you this coming Sunday!

What about kids?

Children and families are a core part of The River Church Newcastle, we want people to find their home with us, no matter their age! River Kids runs on a Sunday for children aged 1-11.

Children stay in the meeting for the first part of worship and then head downstairs to our River Kids space for worship and teaching tailored to them (with a lot of fun, games and snacks thrown in!) You can find more information on our kids page.
