St Mary’s Stoke Bishop is a lively, growing, evangelical, all age, Church of England worshipping community, and is part of Bristol Diocese. Our vision is encapsulated in our strap line, following Jesus and making Him known. We aim to focus all of our ministries through this vision as we seek to encourage and equip all ages to become disciples of Jesus in their everyday lives. Through living as disciples we believe new people are brought to faith.
