^{Dear Church Family}

^{‘. . . Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."’ John 8 verses 31 and 32}

^{Dear Church Family}

^{Jesus came to set us free!}

^{The freedom Jesus has for you is freedom from sin (John 8 verse 34) and from the great burden we sometimes feel trying to prove ourselves worthy before God and each other. Or, to put it positively, Jesus came to free us for holiness. Unholy living, while tempting, leads to a dark and confined existence. Holiness is like running on a wide-open plain in sunshine. It is for freedom Christ has set us free. How do we live free? Trusting in His mercy, love and grace to us.} 

^{The assurance of God’s mercy, of sins fully and freely forgiven, is what we need to step out in faith and begin to live differently from the world.} 

^{The promise of His loving acceptance of us through Jesus’ death and resurrection is the assurance we need to come to Him and live as His holy people.} 

^{The promise of grace - His continual, moment by moment blessing - assures us that He will enable us to live, as He calls us to live, when we choose the way of holiness.} 

^{In other words, the power of unholy living is broken when we hold to the teaching of Jesus, when you hear, receive and trust the promises of abundant mercy, love and grace. The promises of His word break the power of unholy counterfeit pleasures, freeing us to live holy lives to His praise and glory!} 

^{Do you know and trust in His mercy, love and grace? Then let us encourage one another to live in the freedom of holiness.} 

^{Love in Christ Jesus}

Who we are

We are gathering again post covid. Learning from Jesus, that we may live for Jesus and love like Him. We believe that is what Jesus calls us to do. 

When and where

Our weekly service in Shepton Mallet is on Sunday mornings at 10:30 am in the Parish Church. To locate us precisely go here. Our village church services times are here

What to expect

We are a diverse Church family of all ages and backgrounds and who appreciate differing kinds of services. Being together is more important than having exactly what any one of us wants but we do strive to provide a breadth of styles to our services for all to engage in and enjoy. 

How long is our service?

The Sunday service in Shepton Mallet lasts for about 75 minutes. 

Service patterns

Currently we have Holy Communion twice each month on the 2nd and 4th Sundays. On the 4th Sunday, our children and young people return from their groups so that we are all present either to receive the bread and wine or to receive prayer. 

Prayer ministry

Prayer is offered each week during and after the service

What to wear!

Most members of our congregation are generally casual but some a little smarter and some less so. To be honest, we don’t mind how you dress or what you look like - we’d just love for you to come and meet us!
