Prayer and Care

Would you like to be prayed for? If so, please email care @bpchurch.uk and someone will contact you.

Prayer is central to everything we do at Buckingham Parish Church, and happens in lots of different ways. In addition to prayer taking an important place in each of our services and in the lives of the individuals of our Church, there are a few different times devoted to prayer each week.

Prayer Ministry

After the 9am, 11am and 6pm services, there is a dedicated Prayer Ministry Team. They are there to talk with anyone who would like prayer for themselves or for someone else, and to pray for and with them. It could be about a particular situation which a person is facing, about their walk with God, or about anything at all which they would like prayer for.

Prayer Meetings

There are regular opportunities for the Church family to meet together and pray for individuals, the life and work of the Church, our community, and the world at large. There are both weekly and monthly meetings as detailed below:

Friday Prayer Meeting (Every Friday on Zoom, details in the weekly newsletter) We meet to pray specifically for the services which take place on Sunday.
Prayer and Praise (the first Monday of every month, 7.30pm, in Church [excepting Bank Holidays])
An hour of prayer, meditation and praise. Each month, different areas are focused upon in our prayers. Please see our current Prayer and Praise Points here.

Prayer Chain

We also have a confidential Prayer Chain managed by Gill Croxton (01280 815100). If you would like prayer for something or someone, please call Gill and this will be passed down the chain. Confidentiality is maintained at all times.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

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

Where and When

We meet at BP Church for our Sunday Services starting at 9am, 11am or 6pm. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team who will be wearing a Welcome lanyard.

We serve tea, coffee and biscuits before the services begin. It is a great way to meet people, or simply take time to find your bearings. All refreshments are free.

The kids group activities vary depending on the age but usually there is a friendly welcome, bible stories, testimonies, praying, music, craft, drama, fun games and free play. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes.

Getting Connected

Connect 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. Check out Connect Groups and see if there’s one that you could join, or we can put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

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.

We also run the following ministries:
