Follow the disused train line and plant a church where it leads…

Our story starts with an encounter with a stranger. In May 2015, whilst visiting a group of churches in the north of England, God spoke to Paul through a stranger. He said “follow the disused railway line and plant a church in the town where it leads”. At the time, Paul & Lottie lived a stone’s throw from the disused railway line in Chipping Norton. The line originally led to Cheltenham.

This prophetic word launched a journey to plant a new church.

In June 2021 a team of seven adults and two children moved into town during the pandemic. We started gathering in homes, eating, praying & worshipping together and getting to know Cheltenham.

We have grown as a church, as people have joined us, and are now gathering publicly each Sunday morning. Our church continues to grow and we are now gathering 30 or so people, each week.
