Safeguarding

Vision That we may present eve
One of the core values of The King’s Church, Wisbech and Christian ministry in general is to be loving towards each other, building relationships in order to help each other to grow and flourish in our relationship with Jesus. It is with the intention that relationships in ministry be experienced at all times as loving and without intention to do harm, or allow harm to occur.

To this end, The King's Church, Wisbech Leadership (Including Overseers, Trustees and Deacons) makes safeguarding a top priority in all that we do.

We are members of thirtyone:eight who are an independent national organisation and are experts in Safeguarding and work alongside churches and other faith groups.

Commitment

The Overseers and Trustees of The King’s Church are committed to ensuring that The King’s Church:

• Provides a safe environment for vulnerable persons.

• Identifies vulnerable persons who are suffering.

• Takes appropriate action to see that such vulnerable people are kept safe from harm.

In pursuit of these aims, the Overseers and Trustees will approve and annually review policies and procedures
with the aim of:

• Raising awareness of issues relating to the welfare of vulnerable people and the promotion of a safe
environment for them.

• providing procedures for staff and members of the congregation to report concerns

• Establishing procedures for reporting and dealing with allegations of abuse against members of staff
and the congregation of The King’s Church

• The safe recruitment of staff and volunteers

1. Each year The King’s Church will nominate a “Leader” as Lead person with special responsibility for
safeguarding vulnerable people issues for the year. He/she will undertake appropriate training.

2. Staff and volunteers working with vulnerable people will receive training adequate to familiarise them
with child protection issues and responsibilities and the organisation’s procedures and policies, with
refresher training at least every 3 years.

3. The Overseers and Trustees will receive from the Lead person with special responsibility for
safeguarding vulnerable people an annual report which reviews how the duties have been discharged.

Planning your Visit

New to Church

Green Organic Warm Food and Re

Welcome! Whether you've just moved to the area, or have lived here all your life, we hope our website helps you to find out everything you want to know about our Church.

Where and When

Our Church meets every Sunday at 10:00am.

We meet at the Queen Mary Centre in Wisbech (directions here) for our Sunday Services and King's Youth. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team.

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 are disabled toilets just down from the Ladies toilets in the main corridor. The building has no steps throughout and the main entrance has an automatic door. Large print words for songs can be provided if requested in advance.

Our Sunday Morning Service

Our Sunday Morning Service begins at 10am with a warm welcome from one of our team members. Then follows a time of sung worship, led by our band as well as some interactive items related to the biblical theme being explored. Sometimes a person might pray out loud or read a small passage from the bible. Sometimes people share things that they believe God is saying to the whole church family. This might seem strange the first time you hear it but it’s all part of our connecting with God. We then share news and notices, usually about what’s going on in the life of the church. One of our leaders will then give a talk (sermon) that is bible based and that we can apply to our everyday life. After the talk, we have a time of ministry where people can pray for one another, as well as opportunity to chat and get to know each other better with a hot drink and biscuit (we do not charge for refreshments). We then gather together again for about 10 minutes for a final bit of sharing or encouraging each other in our faith and finish with a final song.

What About My Kids?

On Sundays provision is made for children at King's Kids. Children stay with adults for the first part of the Celebration and are encouraged to join in with the songs and interactive parts. Just before the Bible teaching, the children (4-11 years) will be invited to go to an adjoining room for 'King's Kids' that is run by a dedicated and fully DBS checked team of volunteers where they will receive Bible teaching relevant to their age, do some fun games and crafts and sing some songs. They return to their parents and to the Main Hall shortly after the Bible teaching during the Ministry and Refreshments time.

If you would like to accompany your child to King's Kids for the first few times, that is fine. Also, if you do not wish your child to go to King's Kids and to stay with you in the Main Hall, that is also fine.

Is There Anything For Teenagers?

We run a Youth Group called King's Youth. This happens every fortnight on a Saturday evening in the Queen Mary Centre and is for Children who are going to Senior School (aged 11-18).

During a Sunday morning meeting, the youth are encouraged to engage in the main meeting.

We have resources on the tables that include adult colouring in, puzzles and fidget toys for anyone who may find them useful during the meeting (even adults!).

Baby Changing Facilities

Both the Ladies and Gents toilets have baby changing facilities.

Is There A Dress Code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

Where Do I Sit?

There is no designated seating. You are able to sit wherever you like.

Parking

There is a large car park right next door to the Queen Mary Centre called Somers Road Car Park. This is a free car park. There are also disabled parking spaces to the side of the Queen Mary Centre building. Get directions here.

Is There An Offering?

Once a month during our Sunday Celebration we make a point of having an offering during the service as part of our expression of worship. On other Sundays you can give by simply placing your offering in the basket on the table by the entrance to the Main Hall. However, our offering is mainly for those who are regular attenders of our church. If you are just visiting, please do not feel that you have to give any money at all.

You can also give online using our safe and secure website.

Getting Connected

Small Groups

While Sundays are a great way to meet new people, it is often in smaller gatherings that you can really get to know someone. Being part of one of our small groups allows you to make new friends, share together and support each other. We have a variety of groups that meet throughout the week, some afternoons and some evenings. The groups on offer change from time to time and include interest groups and courses, so please do ask what is available.

Serving and Volunteering

If you want to get involved in the life of the church and help us make Sundays run smoothly, you can sign up to serve on a team.

Other Ministries

We also run the following ministries:
