Bodmin Community Church

First of all you can expect a very warm welcome! If you come early, you can also have a free tea or coffee too. The services start at 10.30am on Sunday mornings. We may vary the service but usually we will begin with some songs and hymns of worship followed by prayers and a children's address. A Scripture reading is given and a message based on the bible is preached.

Coffee/tea and fellowship is then encouraged after the service. Once a month we share Communion together (otherwise known as the Lord's Supper or the breaking of bread).

We have on-site parking available for up to 30 vehicles.

Dedicated parking suitable for the disabled is immediately adjacent to the main building with level access direct from the car park (tarmac). The service takes place in the school hall reached by a short corridor from the main double entrance doors, again with level access. There are unfortunately no dedicated WC facilities for those using wheelchairs.

We do not have a dress code so please feel free to wear whatever is most comfortable for you. Most people choose to wear smart casual as the atmosphere is informal.

At BCC we do not take an offering during the service so please don’t feel you need to bring money with you. However if you would like to make a contribution towards the running and development costs of the church there is a red box at the back of the school hall and you can make your cash or cheque gift there.

Children between the ages of 3 and 11 yrs are invited to leave the service part way through to participate in our children’s ministry; 3-6yrs in adventurers and 7-11yrs in explorers. If your child is 12 yrs or older they are currently invited to stay in the main service. We do not operate an official crèche but one of the classrooms is regularly used by parents of children under 3 which is secure and where there are toys. We adhere to the Grace Community Church Child Protection Policy and would be happy to provide you with a copy, should you wish. In addition all of our leaders and helpers have been CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) checked.

When Bodmin Community Church started it was a fairly small church that lacked the resources to buy its own building. Robartes Junior School very kindly agreed to let us use their premises and we have been meeting there ever since.

Our first official church service took place on Sunday 4th November 2007. In January 2008 we started holding weekly services. You can find out more about how we came to be a new church in the history section.

Bodmin Community Church is not formally linked to any of the main Christian denominations. It is a member of the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC), which is a body that represents nearly 500 Churches in the UK.

The popular media image of an evangelical is someone who is narrow minded and fundamentalist in their beliefs. While this may describe some evangelical Christians the vast majority are not fundamentalist or narrow-minded.

An Evangelical Christian is someone who has personally chosen to follow Jesus and is trusting in what He achieved for them through his death and resurrection, rather than in their ability to earn God’s approval by being a good person. They also believe the Bible to be true and try to live their lives in line with its teaching and guidance.

A simple presentation of our beliefs together with a detailed Statement of Faith can be found in our beliefs section.

Our Pastor would be more than happy to meet with you. If you would like to arrange to meet with the Pastor then you can use the telephone number at the bottom of this page or simply use the contact form here on the website.

We would be happy to discuss with you any further questions you may have about the church or the Christian faith either by email or in person.  Just connect to our online contact form.
