Staple Hill Methodist Church is a warm, historic faith community that has served High Street, Staple Hill since 1874. Worship takes place every Sunday morning at 10.30am, and the church offers a friendly welcome in the spirit of Jesus Christ. Alongside Sunday services, there is a regular Saturday coffee morning (10am-12pm) in the vestibule, making space for fellowship and connection. The building is not just a place of worship but a hub for the community: it hosts a variety of groups, special events like concerts and flower festivals, and also offers rooms for hire. Staple Hill is also proud of its heritage and beauty—both as a historic building and as a FairTrade, Eco Church active in caring for creation.

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.
