Welcome! We are a small urban community church with a BIG heart, part of the Anglican Parish of West Cheltenham, that includes St. Barnabas, and St. Mark.
We have a friendly, fun feel, and meet whenever we can, but especially every Sunday at 10.30am in St. Aidan on Coronation Square. We look forward to visitors and provide clear service sheets and instructions.
We hope people can feel they belong first, and each person's faith is encouraged to flourish at their own pace.
Our strap line is: 'Encouraging Faith in People', for we want people to believe in the living God, in Christ, but we also want to believe in people as well. We seek to be encouraging like Aidan, faithful like Silas, and just like Jesus.
