Shirehampton Methodist Church is a welcoming, inclusive community with a strong commitment to worship, care, and service. A distinctive feature of the church is its Wellbeing, Jobs, Training & Enterprise Hub, offering practical support such as job-seeking help, wellbeing activities, and creative opportunities that serve the wider community. The church is also an Eco Church Bronze Award holder, reflecting its dedication to caring for creation, and it embraces creativity in worship and mission, recently producing artwork from old braille hymn books as a sign of faith and renewal.
Minister
Rev. Martin Slocombe
Minister
Hello! I’m Revd Martin Slocombe. I am committed to a pastoral ministry in which every person matters. I believe ministry is centred on personal relationships, and seek to grow those relationships with those attending the churches I serve, and with Christ.
I also have responsibility for property throughout the District, and am encouraged by the wide diversity of churches I meet.
I serve 3 very different churches in 4 locations in the north-west of Bristol. Horfield is a large and busy church which inclusively welcomes all members of the local community. Bishopston is a small, but faithful congregation further along Gloucester Road. Shirehampton actively supports a community hub where many local people come to seek help and advice. St Peter’s at Pilning is a Methodist and Anglican Ecumenical Church and has an associated primary school.
Outside of ministry, I am interested in family history, Nordic walking and growing bonsai trees.
