Fresh Expressions
Fresh expressions of church are forms of church for our changing culture, established primarily for the benefit of people who are not yet members of any church (see www.freshexpressions.org.uk). The Diocese of Bristol wants to encourage experimentation in this area and a number of fresh expressions have been started.Latest videos: Examples of Fresh Expressions
| Emmanuel
at Badminton We are a community of people who want to get to grips with what the Bible says about what the good news of Jesus means for the 21st century. We are part of the Church of England, but welcome people from any denomination or background. Emmanuel meets in the Badminton school gymnasium, Westbury-on-Trym, on Sunday afternoons.

| Crossnet
church Crossnet's vision is to be a community of people who love God and each other, learning to follow Jesus in every aspect of life and seeking to make him known outside the church. Crossnet meets at the Boston Teaparty cafe on Whiteladies Road on Tuesday evenings, and at Zazu's Kitchen, Stokes Croft on Sundays.  Interviews with Nick CrawleyVisit
