Men's Fellowship
The group meets on alternate Thursdays in the Harroway Room at 7:30pm. The meetings generally include talks, discussion and entertainment with different topics led by visiting speakers. Occasional supper evenings and demonstrations are held during the programme. New faces are always welcome at any time.
House Groups
Elm Ridge runs a Bible Study Group. This is an opportunity to get together and discuss topics in an informal way, whilst getting to know each other in a more relaxed atmosphere. If you would like more information, please contact the Church office.
Uniformed Organisations
8 different Scouting and Guiding groups use our Hall and gardens during term time.
Coffee Drop-in
10-12noon Monday
A warm welcome awaits you on a Monday morning at Elm Ridge. Come and enjoy a cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea and cake in our Church Hall. On warm sunny days, take your coffee outside and experience the peace and tranquility of our beautiful grounds. A Monday morning is a busy time in the life of the church and a chance to see what is going on at Elm Ridge, a good time to meet with your friends, or to make new ones.
Prayer Trail
There is a trail around the grounds, at each prayer station there is a thought provoking message and an opportunity to pause and think.
Our Grounds
Our grounds contain some very old, large trees and flower beds and a wonderful view over to the River Tees. There are plenty of benches spread around the garden ready for you to stop and rest and enjoy the peace and quiet of our tranquil setting. We are in the process of setting up a Nature Reserve at the bottom of the garden.
