As a church family we are committed to serving our local communities of Southmead, Westbury on Trym and the North of Bristol.
We do this through the Foodbank, youth clubs, supporting the Bristol Noise, the Single Parents Fair, Bristol Brickers Basketball and more!
To find out more about any of these activities, please get in touch.
Our popular toddler group meets on Thursdays (during term time) at The Ranch, Doncaster Road, BS10 5PP.
Southmead Stars is a toddler group for parents/carers who live within the BS10 area. It is run by a team of volunteers from The Community Church who will give you a warm welcome.
Our sessions for pre-school aged children, run from 10am-11.15am.
At Southmead Stars we have lots of fun together, playing with toys, doing puzzles, free play, enjoying tea/coffee and cake, making crafts and singing together.
We ask for a weekly contribution of £1 per family, payable as you arrive.
Please bring a reusable coffee/tea mug with you -we like to be as environmentally friendly as possible.

This basketball session is aimed at young people in secondary school (under-18s). The sessions cost £2 (unless they’re outdoors, those are free!) and will include a mixture of informal and organised games, a little bit of structured work with drills and some personal development (made up of teamwork, and concentration on emotional/physical/spiritual/mental health for young athletes).
Sunday Mornings from 10:30 to 12:00pm
Our youth group (year 7+, or age 11+) is called Devotion and meets every Sunday morning during the Community Church service at the Greenway Centre in Southmead. It's an opportunity to meet other young people exploring faith together in a relaxed way with crafts, games and usually food. Look out for the third Sunday in the month breakfast special which is held at our Alberts Place building.
Thursdays from 6:30 to 8:00pm
This is a Youth Club for young people in secondary school, every Thursday evening during term time from 6:30pm - 8:00pm (for years 7 to 11) at the Community Church building on Albert Place road in in Westbury. Entrance costs £1.50.
2nd and 4th Sundays from 10:30am to 12pm
Devo Café runs for those in Year 10-13 every 2nd and 4th Sunday morning. Come to the Greenway Centre as normal, and then head out to the cafe when all young people go out. This is a more chilled out session that may involve a sat down game, as well as discussions and questions about a specific bible passage or Christian Value.
3rd Sundays from 10:30am-12pm.
The Devo breakfast happens at the Albert Place building on the third Sunday morning of each month. We start at the Greenway Centre as usual, then with the help from our DBS checked drivers, we will all head down to Albert Place together for breakfast. Our drivers will bring everyone back for the end of the church service. If you are interested, please sign your young person up here.
Throughout the week
Our youth home groups are a place to explore the Christian faith deeper than we are able to do on a Sunday Morning. Through these home groups, young people will be able to build community with others of a similar age, share food together and, as a group, look at what it means to be a Christian in 2024. If you are interested in joining a youth home group, click the Send a Message link below.
Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or need more information.
10:30am - 12:30pm
The Single Parents Fair is back again this year with all the usual good stuff, including portrait photography, hairdressing, hand therapy, crafts, inflatables, crèche, advice stalls, clothes and toys, raffle, refreshments and lots of cake! And all for FREE!
The Single Parents Fair, organised by The Community Church, is one of our favourite events of the year! It's an opportunity for us to come alongside those who parent on their own.
We aim to provide you with some pampering and a bit of break. Join us on Saturday 9th November, 10:30am-12:30pm, at The Greenway Centre, Southmead, BS10 5PY.
We look forward to seeing you on the day.
A team from our church helps run the North Bristol Foodbank outlet every Thursday at the Greenway Centre providing emergency food parcels to those struggling as a result of changes or delays in their benefits or due to other exceptional circumstances.
