| Stroud and Dursley Circuit | |||||
| Bristol District |
|
The Circuit will initiate, encourage, support and co-ordinate its local churches in regular worship of God, spreading the Gospel of Christ, growth in faith and caring and effective Christian service in local communities |
As a Church we see our Mission in the following ways:
1) To offer a warm welcome to all who come to Church.
2) To witness to Jesus love in all we do.
3) To be a church family, open to all ages.
4) To make good use of our premises for the community.
5) To share in worship and witness with local churches.
Our Church is a very loving Church and everyone is made welcome. Mainly an elderly congregation with a few members in the 30-60's age range. We have a Sunday School with 12 members aged between 2 and 15 years.

Our premises are used by other organisations in the village:

We join in with St Bartholomew's with 'Home 2 Help' - practical christianity. This group drives people to hospital, doctors, dentists etc., and takes people shopping - as well as offering a listening ear.
We are a member of Cam & Dursley District Churches Together and take part in their four joint services each year.
