Woodlands Church Family

Who we are

The Woodlands Church Family (WCF) is a vibrant, growing family of churches with eight sites located across the city of Bristol. Our vision is to transform Bristol through the love and power of God as we create spirit-filled, visible communities of faith in neighbourhoods across the city. 

Each congregation is distinct in their style, but we all share the same vision, mission and values to be communities which are welcoming of everyone, authentic in our faith, empowered by the Holy Spirit and expectant of all that God will do in us and through us.  

Our culture and values

Everyone is welcome at Woodlands.

We believe that we are all on a journey of discovery and faith and that it's helpful to do that in a community with other people: People who can not only support each other in that exploration but also in life's difficulties and celebrations.

In that community, in love, in prayer and through a greater understanding of the Bible, we want to:

- Help people become committed Christians and part of the international family of God

- Disciple each person to follow and become more like Jesus

- Release everyone into ministry, gifts and mission, working together in unity with other churches & organisations

- Reach our region with the gospel and bless the nations, especially the poorest

We do this not by our own abilities, but with God's guidance and help, and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
