Safeguarding

Promoting a Safer Church

Jubilee Church is committed to prioritising safeguarding and protecting both children and vulnerable adults, and ensuring that a strong safeguarding culture is woven into all aspects of church life. We are keen that every child, young person and vulnerable adult who participates in any activity run by Jubilee Church can do so in a safe and caring environment, protected from any form of exploitation or abuse.

We follow 'safer recruitment' processes and guidelines and all our trustees, leaders, staff and volunteers who work with children and/or young people have undergone a Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) check and completed safeguarding training as appropriate.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at the Jubilee Centre, 157 Southlands Road, Bromley (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 10:00am. For your first visit, we recommend arriving a few minutes early to ensure you get a parking space and find somewhere to sit before the service begins. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone from our Welcome Team who will be at the entrance.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There is a disabled toilet in the corridor outside the main hall.

Our Service

You can expect a warm welcome, meaningful worship, and an encouraging message as we explore the Bible together and discover what Jesus has to say to us today. We believe God is present and active, and we create space to listen, reflect, and be inspired.

Children and young people stay with their parent or carer at the start of the service for the welcome and a couple of songs, as we really value worshipping God together as a church family. When it’s time for the children’s and young people’s groups to begin, this will be announced. If you’re visiting for the first time and your child or young person would like to join a group, our children’s worker, Jess, will take a few basic details from you.

Our children’s groups are age-appropriate and activities vary, but typically include a mix of Bible stories, prayer, music, craft, drama, fun games and free play.

We aim to finish the service at around 11.15am with information and notices, after which the children and young people will return to join you. Refreshments are available straight after the service, and there is sometimes an opportunity to receive prayer at the end if you would like.

To find out more about what it means to be a Christian, go to our What is Christianity page.

If you have any questions or queries about the building or the service, please contact our Senior Leader, Derek Holl: derek.holl@jubileechurch.co.uk

Children's Groups

The following groups are available:

Creche (0 months to 3 years). Children under 6 months are welcome but must be accompanied by their parent/grown-up at all times.
Primary age group (3-11 years)
Young People (12+ years) who occasionally stay in the service

The groups provide a safe space for children to explore faith and connect with God.

We are keen to support families as they grow in faith together, helping children and young people to realise their value and the part they play in God’s Big Plan for the world!

If you have any queries about the groups, please contact: jess@jubileechurch.co.uk
