Missional Communities
Join us on the exciting journey of becoming a part of our extended family of Jesus’ followers, united in the mission to love God, one another, and those who are lost.
What is a Missional Community?
Missional Communities are great examples of missional and discipleship activity at Marlbrook. They extend our reach, enabling us to share His love with even more people.
We believe church isn’t confined to Sundays alone. It’s the people and community combined that shape our identity as a church, and MCs are a key part of God’s plan to help us do this.
MCs are mid-sized groups, formed around a shared missional passion or purpose. They serve as spaces where individuals are recognised, supported, and inspired to deepen their relationships with one another while nurturing their growth as disciples of Jesus, aligning with our church’s vision. They provide a unique platform for leadership development, skill refinement, and the practice of spiritual gifts – something often constrained within a Sunday service context. Above all, they radiate an outward-focused approach and are easy to join.
If you haven’t yet connected with an MC, we encourage you to reach out to one of our leaders; they’d be delighted to welcome you!
We are an MC with a focus on the seasoned generations. Named Roots & Shoots, we are firmly grounded in faith, seeking to welcome others through our social activities.
Our vision is to connect with individuals who may be living independently or experiencing social isolation. This includes those who are single or in couples.
We gently explore Christianity through Bible readings. Our gatherings follow this schedule on Thursdays:
- In the 2nd week, we meet at Rose Cottage for coffee and a Bible study.
- During the 3rd week, we have communion at St Michael's Church at 10 am.
- In the 4th week, we enjoy A Cuppa & Company at the Lighthouse Centre, in a very relaxed setting.
We've found deeper connections within our community, made new friends, and relished the opportunity to share the good news, which we hope to continue.
We're known as Agapē (pronounced "aga-pay"), reaching out to those who often go unnoticed - individuals not on the traditional invite lists and those navigating chaotic lifestyles.
Our core mission revolves around spreading the word of God with a strong emphasis on Scripture. Agape signifies God's love, symbolising that there's always a seat at His table and ours, where meals are freely shared. Here, there's always space, and it's always on us.
We meet at Rose Cottage, usually one to two times a week. While it's primarily word-of-mouth, we encourage you to bring along friends, and we also run a WhatsApp group for easy connections.
Every Tuesday night, we delve deep into Bible study, accompanied by a meal. On alternate Sundays, we come together for a more relaxed Bible study, also over a shared meal.
One of our happiest moments is witnessing individuals coming to Christ and making a commitment to be baptised!
At Wild Church, we're all about creating a welcoming and inclusive community for families with children under 12 in Twerton. Our mission is to embody the spirit of unity, love, and shared purpose found in Jesus' teachings.
We gather in a beautiful woodland setting, within St Michael’s Junior School’s ground on Newton Road. Every 2nd and 4th Sunday at 2:30pm we come together to enjoy campfires, family games, delicious treats, heartfelt testimonies, craft activities based on biblical themes, and warm cups of hot chocolate. It's all about having fun, offering support, and growing in our faith.
Our greatest achievement? Bringing Twerton families into our church community with the hope that they'll discover Jesus as their savior. We offer a relaxed and inviting atmosphere where genuine friendships thrive, and where we get to witness children forming lasting Christian connections.
Join us and be part of something special!
