Church & Community

Welcome

Tubestation is a hub of creativity, connection, and collaboration. Over the years, our space has been used as a cinema, a recording studio, for toddler groups, gigs, dance classes, Extinction Rebellion lectures and beach cleans. Our half-pipe is regularly used by local skaters. Tubestation has been put to use as a set for documentaries, films and TV series, and is regularly used for surf comps, and as a workspace and meeting place for local businesses and freelancers. 

So whatever your project, hustle, passion or initiative, we’d love to have you as part of our community Tubestation.

In our space, wet dogs, wet wetsuits and wet feet are all welcome.

Our Values

Connected

Tubestation wants to discover and explore God together, a God who is beyond anyone’s imagination or knowledge. We are committed to going on this journey of listening and learning together.


Community

Tubestation is an inclusive Christ-centred community. We are passionate about curating spaces for questions and conversation. We want everyone to find belonging and safety, and to flourish in every circumstance life throws at us!

 

Creative

Tubestation is a place that celebrates creativity through skating, surfing, swimming, faith, food, art, and music. Creativity is an expression of the Spirit of our Creator God.

Sunday Gathering

10:00 - 11:30

Gathering every Sunday is one way that we can connect with the local and global community of Jesus-followers. Our Sunday Gatherings include a time of singing together, and learning from the Bible, and someone might share their knowledge in the form of a short talk. 

Our Story Sundays are a time when everyone is welcomed to share ‘up-the-front’: life experiences, songs, prayers, jokes, poems, dances, spoken-word… Come as you are. All ages are welcome at our Sunday Gatherings. Sometimes children will participate in their own activities, but will usually join in with the whole group. 

While our cafe isn’t always open with the usual menu on a Sunday, free tea and coffee, and a biccie or two are always on hand for before, during or after our Sunday Gathering.

Tiny Tots: Wednesday & Friday | 10:00-12:00

 

Our toddler groups are a free to attend space with plenty of toys for the kids and coffee for the parents! This community space aims to build friendships and fun.

 

Thursday Prayer | 11:00

We meet at Tubestation on Thursday mornings. We pray for Cornwall, for our world, and for each other. Our Pastoral Leads can offer spiritual support and  prayer to those who need it, including those who can’t easily access the Tubestation venue at Polzeath.

Home Groups

As well as meeting as a whole church every week in Polzeath, we also meet in smaller groups in people’s homes. There are currently home groups running in St Columb Major, Wadebridge and Camelford. Home groups might share meals together, chat about a certain issue or topic relating to faith, surf together, go on walks or help out at Foodbanks and local charities… each home group is a reflection of the unique people who make it up!

Giving at Tubestation

Donating to Tubestation is just one way to support the work we do.

Our charity number is 1126401.

Cafe

Tubestation is the result of some big dreams and a lot of hard work. It’s been a space for good food, good coffee and good chats, ever since 2006.

Our cafe food is simple, hot and hearty, and all made right here in the Tubestation kitchen. Our menu includes gluten-free and vegan options. (You’re also welcome to bring your own packed lunch.)

Tubestation runs a pay-it-forward scheme, so if you do fancy a hot dish or a cuppa, come in, grab a ticket and tuck in.

We use Foundation coffee, a Cornish roaster that produces single-origin, traceable (and pretty delish) coffee beans.

Free Wi-Fi, big sofas, big wood burner, dogs welcome, half-pipe skate ramp. (The ramp can get noisy, so bring some earplugs if you’re after a quiet and productive day on the laptop!)

Open:

Monday - Saturday

10:00 - 16:00
