Look to God


We believe that church is not just a building but a community of people who love God and want to build great relationships with others who feel the same.

To encourage this we meet weekly in Connect Groups to build friendships and our faith in God. These are small groups that meet locally in homes and cafe’s across the region. We meet to share good times, conversation, food and to discover more about God’s teachings. We believe that these groups create and nurture the support and friendships which makes a vibrant and exciting church such as Xcel.

There are also a whole host of age/interest specific meetings that happen regularly such as Girlfriends – a night just for the women and Planet Kids/Planet Youth/Remix for all age groups up to 29 years old.

Xcel Church is also the perfect place to be every Sunday and our venues are so easy to get to, located in both Darlington and Aycliffe. Morning services 10.30am in Aycliffe & 11am in Darlington. We meet in one location at Aycliffe for our United Night at 6pm!

There is a parenting facility for those with young children and a fantastic Kids church programme so your kids will love the weekends, meeting new friends and growing in their faith.

If you’re visiting for the first time be sure to visit our welcome lounge where we’d love to serve you with refreshments and tell you more about Xcel.
