We’re an ordinary group of people learning to follow Jesus together. Whether you’re new to church, new to the area, or just curious, we’re glad you’re here — and we’d love to say hello in person.
Church is for everyone — young and old, single people and families, those who’ve been around faith for years and those who aren’t sure what they believe yet. You won’t be put on the spot; come as you are.
If you have children, they’re welcome too. We want families to feel supported, not judged — and we’re always happy to help you find a safe space on a Sunday.
Practical notes for your first visit.
Why we gather — in a nutshell.
We love God, we love people, and we care about this community. Our aim is simple: to help one another follow Jesus in everyday life — at home, at work, and in Thorne — and to share his hope with anyone who’d like to hear it.
We’re not perfect, but we’re trying to be a church family where people can belong, ask honest questions, and find friendship.
A few of the people who serve week to week.
Pastor
Kevin grew up in his local church in Mansfield, trained at Mattersey Hall Bible College (BA in Biblical and Applied Theology, 2005), and has served in Bentley, Thurnscoe, and now Thorne. He loves families, the local community, and helping people meet Jesus in a down-to-earth way.
Serving together
Sunday mornings and midweek activities happen because many people give their time — welcome team, children’s work, prayer, refreshments, and more. When you visit, we’d love to introduce you to some of the faces behind the scenes.
Local roots and a heart for the area.
We’re grateful to be part of life in Thorne — a town we love. From our building on Peel Castle Road, which used to be a school, we seek to serve neighbours, families, and people.
Alongside our regular Sunday gatherings, prayer meetings, and groups for little ones, we want to be good neighbours: approachable, hospitable, and open to everyone who walks through the door.
