Services
HTB conducts a combined ten services each Sunday across the three sites. The family services include items aimed at children and child participation. The formal services have a more traditional Church of England Liturgy and a regular choir. The informal services centre on a longer period of contemporary worship, a longer talk, and close in a reflective prayer mood that is left to run beyond the end of the service.
St Paul's church extends its informal nature to the seating arrangements. Most of the congregation sit on carpet while some couches, cushions and bean bags are also provided. Some services reuse the same talk and song list from a service earlier in the day. The service is sometimes conducted in the round.
