Prayer

Prayer is one of the ways in which we seek to develop our relationship with God and express our dependence on Him both individually and as a church.  It therefore underpins all that we do: 

• Sunday mornings at 10 am before the service at LCBC in the coffee hall, focused on praying for the morning service and children's work.

• First Tuesday of each month 8-9pm at the church.

• Fridays 7-7.30 am on Zoom, start the day with prayer, a different theme or focus each week.  Ask for the Zoom link

• Home Groups which meet either weekly or fortnightly (see Home Groups)

Reading the Bible together

Reading the Bible Together (RBT) is a three-year scheme where the whole church participates in co-ordinated reading of one book (or section of books) every month. 

This is intended to be a listening exercise where we, first of all, listen to God through his Word, and then listen to one another as we meet together to share in feedback groups.

By following this process together we aim to:

• Equip the church with good Bible literacy skills growing together in our understanding of God;s purposes, as we instruct, encourage and admonish one another from the Scriptures

• Encourage regular Bible reading for all

• Enable every member to share what they learn personally from the Bible and to see how this contributes to the life of the church as we seek to build each other up

• Discern how God is speaking to us through his Scripture specificially at this time, both to us as individuals and also as a community of believers based in and around Long Crendon

• Foster unity through listening and sharing with one another 

Reading Plan for 2026

3-Year Overview

Home Groups

We believe that within a growing church it is important to provide opportunities to build meaningful relationships of support and encouragement. One of the ways we do that is through our Home Groups.

These meet on different days of the week in church members' homes in Long Crendon and the surrounding area. Mostly the meetings take place in the evening either weekly or twice a month. Some Home Groups meet during the day. They include social time, Bible study and prayer.

For Women

We aim to encourage women in the Church to grow in their faith and to support one another. We organise a range of events throughout the year. We also aim to organise 'outreach events' to invite friends to. Since October 2025 we have organised seven events and over 40 women from LCBC have attended one or more of these.

Connect is our weekly Bible Study for women of all ages held every term-time Tuesday morning from 09.45am to 11.30am at LCBC with coffee, Bible study and prayer. 

A crèche is provided for those with young children.

For Men

Three of the most important and inspiring words Jesus ever spoke are recorded for us in Mark 1:17 - 'Come, follow me'. The aim of the men's ministry at LCBC is to encourage each other to follow Jesus Christ more wholeheartedly and share the great news of the Gospel with men who do not know God for themselves.

We aim to meet together regularly to encourage each other and pray for issues that are on our hearts and also organise several great social occasions to help build relationships. .

We aim to laugh together, build lasting friendships and provide an opportunity for people to find out a bit more about what it means to follow Jesus for themselves.

Come and get stuck in!
