The Junction Church Loughborough is a vibrant, welcoming community of ordinary people who are learning to live out real faith in everyday life. Our heart is to create a safe and encouraging place where you can grow, flourish and discover more of God’s purpose for your life. None of us have it all together, but we believe God’s grace is enough for every one of us. That’s why Jesus is always at the very centre of everything we do. If you’re looking for a diverse, growing church family where you can feel truly at home, you’ll find your place here. Below you’ll find more details about our services.
Sundays are the highlight of the week at The Junction Church Loughborough:
• Doors open at 9am – come early for tea, coffee, and nibbles. It’s a relaxed chance to meet people, connect with friends, or simply prepare for the service.
• Service begins at 10am – around 90 minutes of inspiring worship, practical Bible teaching, and a friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere.
• Everyone welcome – no dress code, no pressure. Just come as you are.
What to Expect at a Service
From the moment you walk in, you’ll experience an atmosphere that’s alive with faith and full of warmth. Our worship is modern, uplifting and helps you connect with God in a real and powerful way. The teaching is practical and relevant, rooted in the Bible but speaking directly into everyday life. And there are always opportunities to get involved, make friends, and be part of something bigger. Whether it’s your first time in church or you’ve been on the journey for years, you’ll feel right at home.
Parking & Travel
• On-site parking is free for all attending the Sunday services. For mid-week services and events, parking on site is free after 6pm. However, for mid-week parking after 6pm, you will need to enter your car registration on the iPad at reception to activate free parking (only mid-week, not on Sundays). Without this, the system expects payment.

Plenty! We run worship nights, prayer gatherings, life groups, Bible studies, Alpha courses, stay & play for little ones, youth events, community outreach and more.
