Welcome to Cheddar Valley Community Church.
We are a family friendly church in the Cheddar Valley, meeting every Sunday 5.30pm at Draycott Memorial Hall, BS27 3UE.
We are ordinary people, living real lives, making mistakes, experiencing joy and doing the best we can with what we have. We are each taking our next steps to becoming more like Jesus and helping others do the same. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you’re from or what you’ve done. You are of infinite worth to God and us. Wherever you are in life, you have a purpose and we want to help you become the person God created you to be.
Read a little more about Pentecost from Carol Russell on our blog as she embellishes the story from her imagination as to what might have happened in between the lines. Peter and Pentecost
CHURCH TOGETHER
SUNDAY GATHERING
We meet every Sunday, 5.30-7pm at Draycott Memorial Hall. The first Sunday of the month we share a light tea together before the service starts, the other Sundays please come and grab a cup of tea or coffee with a biscuit and take your seat at a table. We gather around tables with activities so there is always something for children and young people to engage with. Everyone including children and young people are actively encouraged to be a part of every service.
Our Sunday meetings are usually streamed over zoom.

SUNDAY MORNING PRAYER
Every Sunday morning, we meet to pray in The Oasis prayer room 9am-9.45am, seeking to draw close to Jesus and bringing the needs of our community and world to Him.
HOME GROUPS
We have a number of different home groups that usually meet in people’s homes as well as at The Oasis. They all have a different flavour but all include bible study and a coffee. They are a place to make friends, find support and encourage each other in our Christian lives.
Message us to find out more.
PASTORAL
Caring for and supporting each other is very important to us at Cheddar Valley Community Church. We have a Pastoral Lead, Anita, who co-ordinates this, working alongside the Leadership team. There is a great emphasis on everyone supporting each other and this is particularly seen through the home groups.
If you would like pastoral support please message us.
KIDS AND YOUTH
Our meeting at Draycott Hall is family friendly and children are encouraged to be a part of the meeting and have craft available. We also have a children’s group led by our dedicated children’s team, that go out for their own activities during the talk.
Our youth are encouraged to take roles within the life of the church, such as in the worship team or tech.
Note: We are committed to providing a safe environment for our young people and have a dedicated safeguarding co-ordinator who oversees this.
