We are two churches one benefice — distinct in style, united in mission.
St Matt's is at the bottom of Widcombe Hill. It's more informal in worship style, with kids groups and a worship band.
St Thomas is further up Widcombe Hill, down Church Lane. It is more traditional in worship style, with a mixture of services on offer and organ led music.
Together, we aim:
- To authentically follow Jesus
- To joyfully serve others
- To boldly share His love with the world
Our shared values are:
- Wholehearted
- Spirit-led
- Empowering
- Generous
- Missional
We offer:
- Midweek groups
- Has a worship band (at St Matts)
- Near the city centre
- Near a Sunday bus route
- Has an organ (at St Thomas)
