Bristol Community Church is a Christian church located in Kingswood, Bristol, England. It is known for its lively worship style.
History of the Church
The church began in 1984 as the Bristol New Covenant Church. It was started by Dave Jones, a pastor from Bath. Before this church was formed, some people from the Bristol area would travel to Bath City Church to attend services.
Name Change and Location
In the 1990s, the church changed its name to Bristol Community Church. This was done because the original name, "New Covenant," sometimes caused confusion for people.
Over the years, the church met in several different places around Bristol. Eventually, it found its permanent home at Bourne Chapel. This building is on Two Mile Hill Road in Kingswood. It was originally built in 1873 as a Primitive Methodist church. Before the Bristol Community Church moved in, the building was even used as part of a factory!
Later Developments
In 2012, the Bristol Community Church experienced a significant change. After this, the remaining church decided to change its name to Bourne Christian Centre.
