Woodlands is a large and vibrant city centre church. Their community is made up of around 800 adults, plus 150 children. They seek to be open, modern, relevant and, above all, authentic in their approach to church and faith.

The community is a diverse mix. There are professionals, people from the streets, and pretty much everything in between. There are students, young people, singles and families of every shape and size. They believe in excellence, but don't get fazed by a little messiness at the edges. People - with all their problems, questions and quirks - are the priority. Anyone and everyone is welcome.

Woodlands Church was started in 1995, to accommodate the growth of The Community Church, itself an offshoot of Highgrove Church. These three sister churches remain linked to this day, as the Woodlands Group of Churches. What started with just a handful of people in 1983 has mushroomed incredibly. Yet the vision has stayed the same all the way through.

Alma Church, Bristol is part of the Evangelical Alliance. The congregation is about 200 people - small enough to be able to make friends and get involved easily and large enough to have plenty of exciting things going on!

The church has its roots in the Brethren movement. The original Bethesda Chapel was situated in Great George Street (1832) - and was led for a time by George Muller. The Alma Road church was erected in 1872 as a daughter congregation and became known as Clifton Bethesda to distinguish it from the parent church (which was destroyed during WWII).

City Church is a New Frontiers church that meets in the sports hall of Cotham School.

With a large number of students in the church, students are a really important part of City Church. They love to have students involved in all they do and we hope that City Church will be a place where students can feel part of a family, where they are challenged, discipled and caught up in the vision to reach out to Bristol, and ultimately the world.

At the heart of Christ Church is the priority of listening to what God is saying through understanding his written Word, the bible. In Matthew 28 verse 19 Jesus told his followers to 'go and make disciples of all nations'. This has been the mission statement for God's church ever since. The task for any local church is to understand how this is worked out in the particular place and context God has put them. Christ Church wants to fulfil this vision through working at three areas of our life together and which can be particular challenges for a church on the slightly larger side. 

These three areas of church family life are - belonging, growing, going.

e@b is the local Elim Pentecostal church in the heart of Stokes Croft.

"We exist to be a light to the city and a blessing to the nations. In order to achieve this we have a varied and interactive programme that is designed to equip and release you into your God given destiny, to draw out the potential and treasure that is contained within you."

There has been a church on the site of Pip and Jay for nearly a thousand years and it is still a thriving centre of worship.

The Church of St Philip and St James, to give it its full title is a thriving evangelical Anglican church right in the centre of town. The student population of the church has grown over the last few years and they now have a full time student worker. As well as being part of a Sunday congregation there's also a chance to meet with other students on Saturday evenings every other week.
