Welcome to
Swanton Abbott
Community Chapel
A village church for everyone
Swanton Abbott Community Chapel
is an independent evangelical church in Swanton Abbott, Norfolk.
We offer everyone a chance to belong, and to grow in their love of God
and for one another, within our beautiful rural community.
We welcome all ages and backgrounds.
Through the dedication of our leadership and volunteers, we are committed to the teachings of Jesus Christ, and want to help everyone to connect with God,
understand the bible and have a vibrant faith.
We are members of the Evangelical Alliance.
Contact us to find out more about what we do and what we believe,
or simply drop in and see us.
Church isn't always what you imagine it to be - you could be pleasantly surprised!
Sunday Services 11 am
An all age family friendly service lasting about an hour. Refreshments are served from 10.15am.
Connect Sundays
On the fifth Sunday of the month, we take a more
laid back and informal approach to church,
including a café style layout, interviews, special
themes, and guest speakers.
See our special events page for more details. If
you're not used to church, these are a good starting
point. All are welcome!
Coffee on the Corner
1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month
10.30 am - 12 noon
A chance to enjoy delicious refreshments for free, including homemade cakes. It's a great opportunity to meet old friends and make new ones in our "chapel café". Our vision is to serve the community and share the love of Jesus. All are welcome.
Life group
Every Wednesday
10.30am - 12 noon
Enjoy the company of others, in a smaller setting,
providing an opportunity to get to know one
another & support each other. We explore an aspect of the Christian faith via a passage in the bible, pray, & grow in our friendship as we do life together.
Contact us for details of the home we are meeting in.
Alpha courses
We regularly run Alpha courses, where you can find out more about the Christian faith. We plan to run a new course very soon. Why not join our waiting list?
We show a short DVD and have discussions about the meaning of life, and it's a safe environment to ask any question you like. It is all completely free of charge.

Book library
1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month
10.30am - 12 noon
At our Coffee On The Corner mornings, we have a table of second hand books, that help people explore the Christian faith and Jesus.
Anyone is welcome to pop in and borrow one for no charge.
Food For Thought
Held at various times throughout the year
12 noon - 1.30pm
We like to reach out to those in need in our village of Swanton Abbott. If you know of someone in the village who would benefit from a tasty hot lunch and the company of eating with others, then see our events page for details of when the next one is. The meal is followed by a brief Pause For Thought.
Numbers are limited so it's first come, first served.
Accessibility
There is wheelchair access
and a disabled toilet in our chapel.
Safeguarding
We are committed to Safeguarding Children, Young People, and Vulnerable Adults. Details of our safeguarding policy can be requested.
Younger ones
We have baby changing facilities, and a play area with toys for little ones.
There are activities for children at every Sunday service, that are on the same theme as the service.
