Small Groups

At St Mary with St Matthew’s we have many Small Groups for people in different situations - and many of them start up again this week after the Christmas break. From Christianity Explored to Home Groups and Growth Groups, women’s daytime Bible study with crèche, post alpha groups, groups for our under 4‘s, 7-10’s or sixth formers, small groups really are at the heart of our church.

Andrew's Retirement

Our rector, Andrew Dow, recently announced his retirement after 39 years in the ordained ministry he will be retiring this Summer, 8 months short of his 65th birthday. His last service with us will be on Sunday 27th June before he and Miriam move to Stratford upon Avon. Please remember them in your prayers as they prepare for this next phase of ministry. Nearer the time we will be thanking God for Andrew's and Miriam’s ministry amongst us.

Themes and Services

Righteousness Revealed

Exploring the final chapters of Romans we will be challenged to live lives of pure worship in response to all that Christ has done. Be prepared for change as God’s word gets put to work.

The Power of the Cross

Living in modern, self-assured Cheltenham, we will see how the gospel should shape our life within the church and help us against the pressures of our culture. Come and explorer together what being part of a 21st Century church should look like.
