Godalming Minster is a fresh take on the ancient idea of a resourceful Christian community of care, teaching, nurture and worship which serves its area to grow disciples of Jesus and share the gospel with people. It’s an exciting time because the Minster was born in January 2024 after two years of prayer and preparation.
We have four landmark church buildings, two C of E primary schools, a ministry hub, a community centre and a café which are the hives for worship and mission activities. Our regular congregations span the 1662 BCP, choral tradition, contemporary, classic, Messy and “Muddy Church” or “Church in the Park” so that everyone can find a spiritual home and expression. Together the congregations involve about 400 people, with many more who participate in outreach activities.
Our passion is for children and young people and to nurture faith and relationship with Jesus in brand new generations. This is reflected in our provision for 0-18s, our investment in paid staff positions, our work with four local schools, and an expectation that everyone has a part to play in the vision.
We're dedicated to growing intentional disciples, growing younger, with a sharpened focus on mission and evangelism. We are for Godalming, for life!
