It's your chance in the week to breathe, chat and explore something more about the God who loves us.

The group is led by members of our Children and Families Ministry team, who offer topics for discussion
and support regarding Godly parenting. We also have a Facebook group and a supportive WhatsApp group.

St Michael's

St Michael's is a friendly, vibrant Anglican church community meeting regularly for services at the historic church in the heart of Bishop's Cleeve. 

No matter what your age, background or stage of faith, we welcome you – whether that's finding out more about the Christian faith, discovering different worship styles, activities for children and families, support with a wedding, baptism or bereavement, or simply to make new friends. 

We hold two Sunday services: 9.30am and 11.15am at St Michael's Church. Visit our website for updated services.

We are committed to investing in and growing God's work with children and families and have various groups available to children and parents on Sundays and during the week.

We welcome and encourage people looking for friendship and offer Life Groups, which are Christian-based small home groups, open to anyone looking to explore life and make new friends. 

We also offer outreach in the community and we are home to the Bishop's Cleeve Foodbank. 

Our church is founded on prayer and we offer regular prayer meetings, prayer ministry at our Sunday services and prayer initiatives throughout the year, such as Thy Kingdom Come.

We hope you feel you receive a warm welcome. Please do take a look at our website, or our Facebook group for more information about service times and all that we have going on.

We look forward to meeting you!
