The Jubilee Centre, home of City Church Sheffield

I have been to this church a couple of times, but it seems like a good church with lots of families attending and good worship. The only two things that bother me is that when worshipping, there seems to be only one paragraph on the screen which makes it difficult to worship as the person in charge of it often gets the paragraph wrong so it's really hard to get to the spirit of worship when the right paragraph isn't on the screen. It would be a lot easier if three paragraphs of the song were on the screen, there is plenty of space for three paragraphs of the song on the screen, so if the band decides to sing the paragraph again it's already on there and it's easier to worship when you see what follows next. The other thing is, it really bothers me when the first thing people ask me, and that is all the people that I have come across at this church so far (apart from one), is where I am from, like it's the most important thing about me... Why can't you just have a normal conversation with me, all the women who have spoken with me so far, that is the first thing they have asked me, only one man called Ben had a normal conversation with me and didn't judge me on where I am from. After 19 years of being in this country how am I supposed to feel that I belong here when you keep pointing out that I am from somewhere else, just because I sound different, I really doubt that you would ask a black person where they're from because they look different. I am so tired and sick of it, I never had that many people in one church ask me where I am from in the first couple of sentences they ever speak to me, and some said: of yeah I wondered where you're from because you sound different/ have different accent, etc. Who cares that I sound different?! Jesus doesn't care, we are one body in Christ, stop pointing out peoples differences, how are people supposed to feel included if you keep pointing out their differences, if someone came through the door with one leg would the first thing you say to them be: "You look different, you have a leg missing, what happened to you?!" or if someone has a stammer would you point that out too, no you would have a normal conversation with them, the stammer, lack of leg, different accent would naturally at some point come up in the conversation, but it shouldn't be the first thing you ask the person. Have people not learnt anything from Queen Elizabeth's Lady-in-Waiting comments to the guest at the palace?! How would you feel if you lived in the country nearly 20 years and people would constantly keep pointing out you're from somewhere else?! Even though I find this extremely annoying I would never discourage anyone from going to church, because the reason I go to church is for God not people, though it would be nice to have fellowship with people who aren't obsessed with where I am from. This review is mostly for the church really to take a note if they care about people's feedback, for anyone thinking of attending the church if you're British you will definitely love it.

Not religious at all, but the Minikidz toddler group on Monday mornings is really lovely and friendly. There is a religious element at the beginning of the session, but they are always very welcoming if you come later. Delicious cakes too!

We hired at no cost the cafe area for our community association agm. Lovely space with all facilities available.

City Church is a great church. If you haven't got any friends when you go in, you'll leave with friends
