St. Aidan & St. Silas - The Stable, Cheltenham

2009 ~ A Year of Acceptance
Welcome. There's loads here, regular services, film nights, special events, so just keep scrolling down and our contact info is right at the bottom!

We are a small urban community church with a MASSIVE heart, part of the Anglican Parish of West Cheltenham, that includes St. Barnabas and St. Mark. We have a friendly fun feel, and we meet whenever we can, but especially every Sunday at 10.30am on Coronation Square. Our entrance is round the back with ramp access at the front. THIS IS IT!>>

Sunday services are varied and we cater for a wide range of personalities and ages. We use all sorts of music, and we love 'Fischy Music'. We enjoy a laugh and socialising together, and use film clips, stories, and short talks to bring alive truths that everyone can find value in.

We look forward to visitors all the time and provide clear service sheets and instructions for all to follow. We hope people can feel they belong first, before they might believe, and each person's journey of faith is allowed 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 also seek to be encouraging like Aidan and faithful like Silas.

Style of worship: Varied, diverse & fun!
Our Patron: CPAS
