As disciples of Jesus we have a mandate to feed the hungry and welcome the stranger. We are also called to share the good news with others, making disciples. It’s easy to focus on doing one more than the other, but Little Church is the place where we are working out how to do both, together.
Little Churches are groups of people who meet regularly together with a shared purpose to make a difference in the lives of others. Whether that’s feeding the homeless, discipling young believers, workplace mission or helping people coming out of prison.
Every Little Church has a different purpose but they are all places of transformation, discipleship and mission. At B&A everyone is part of a Little Church.
How do I join one?
We currently have 10 Little Churches growing and building together across the city of Bristol - we like to think there's something for everyone and we'd love to help you find the right Little Church for you.
A great place to start is to take a look at the Little Churches on this page - feel free to get in touch with any questions you might have. Once you’ve had a look the best way to get to know a Little Church is to experience it - twice a month we split into Little Churches to discuss and pray at The Gathering, or you can visit a Little Church during the week.
