Bicester

Well, we're a bunch of normal people with kids and jobs, with too much to do and too little time, with faults and failings, doubts and dreams.  But we believe the world should be a better place and that God wants that too.   

We're an unashamedly quirky movement.  A church and charity from Victorian times living and loving in a world that faces many of the same problems now as then.   

So we're busy doing the kind of stuff you'd expect us to do; helping the homeless, feeding the hungry, making friends with those who are lonely, lost or in some way struggling with life. 

But we know being is important too.  We know God and want to know him more.  We know Jesus and think he's awesome!  We want to follow his way of life and be like him.  So we also take time to just be.  To be loved and understood, to listen to God's voice and let him work in us.  

An informal drop-in for those who are homeless and those struggling with addiction.  

We provide a safe place, a friendly face, clothes, bedding and food.  But we want to give a hand up - not just a hand out!  So we also offer one-to-one support to help people make steps towards a life that is safer, healthier and happier.  

Specialist housing advice is offered via Connections Floating Support and specialist addiction counselling via our Salvation Army drug and alcohol worker and Turning Point. 

Open on Wednesdays from 12pm - 2pm​, and Fridays 10am - 2pm.

A team of people from various churches in Bicester, including ours, have been trained by the award-winning charity Christians Against Poverty (CAP).  They work together to deliver the CAP Money Course around Bicester.  This is a three week course and is free to access.  The aim is to help those who are struggling financially to gain control of their money and free them from the worry of debt.  Please email or phone if you would like to hear more about this.

Do you wonder why so many people are sleeping rough?  Worried that your money might be spent on drink or drugs?  Do you want to hear some better ways to help?

Then 'Fight Club' - our supporters network might be what you're looking for.
