One Church. Three locations.

Edwalton

The Hub, Wellin Lane, Sunday 10.30am

The 'Mother' Church started in 2010 and meets on Wellin Lane at The Rock Hub, our owned premises. The congregation is all-age with approximately 80 of us gathering on any given Sunday. We'd love to see you if you are local to us and want to check us out.

Ruddington

Methodist Church, Church St, Sunday 5.00pm 

We held our first service in Ruddington in February 2020 but unfortunately went straight into lockdown thereafter! After regrouping and recalibrating, we resumed services in February 2024. A small, but growing congregtion of around 30-40 people meet early evening.

Keyworth

URC, Sunday (10.30am / 12.00pm)

As of Easter 2026 our Keyworth location officially started in the village to add to the existing Christian presence there. About 25 adults and 15 children from our Edwalton location who were already living in and around Keyworth are part of this exciting new work.

Welcome...

We welcome the single, the happily married, the unhappily married, the divorced, the content and the downright desperate. Whether you're a high-flyer, a homebody, a free spirit or a creature of habit, there's room for you here.

We welcome those who can sing like Adele and those whose greatest hits are strictly reserved for the shower. You're welcome if you're just having a nosey, you've only just rolled out of bed or you've just got out of prison. We couldn't give two hoots whether you know the Bible inside out or haven't set foot in church since your cousin's wedding.

The red carpet's out for school-run parents, football fanatics, planet savers, coffee snobs and hoodie wearers. We especially welcome you if life's a bit of a mess, you're feeling down, running on empty or could just do with someone praying for you.

We welcome the tattooed, the pierced, the scarred and those who don't quite fit the mould. There's an extra special welcome for anyone who's been Bible-bashed, had religion shoved down their throat or been judged, hurt or let down by the Church.

Whether you're a believer, a doubter, a seeker, an overthinker, a doomscroller or someone who's just stumbled across this page by accident... The Rock welcomes you!

The Rock Church Vision

"We see an enthusiastic, vibrant, and edgy church growing in West Bridgford, that has birthed strong congregations in Ruddington, Cotgrave and Keyworth."
