We are a friendly, welcoming church in the heart of Weston-super-Mare. We meet every Sunday at 10.30 a.m. to pray, sing and hear God's word. We also have a mid-week service at 10.30 a.m. on the second Wednesday of every month. At some services (Holy Communion) those who wish to are invited to share bread and wine as Jesus taught us. We are an Anglican church, that is, we are part of the 'Church of England', but everyone is welcome at all our services. If you're not sure what happens just walk in and take part just as much or as little as you like (and stay for refreshments at the end).
If you live or work between Regent Street and Clevedon Road (so in Tesco, the Railway Station, Brunello Lounge, Bistrot Pierre or Revo, and in all the businesses along Oxford Street) we are your parish church so you are especially welcome. Also anyone in and around Ellenborough Park. The church is fully accessible (through the car park but ask our welcomers if you are not sure) and has an accessible toilet and baby changing facilities. Children are welcome (we have a small play area for toddlers and young children) although if you are interested in activities for children and young people you might want to check out Christ Church, Montpelier, our sister church. Unfortunately we can't accommodate dogs other than assistance dogs.
The one rule of our church: if you park in our car park to come to our service (which you are welcome to do) make sure you register your car on the gizmo just inside the door.
Verse For The Week
“ You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. "
Ephesians 4: 22-24
