About Us
Woodlands METRO is a vibrant and growing city centre church, meeting in the heart of Bristol. We launched back in September 2015, as an offshoot of Woodlands Church.
Since then we've weathered pandemic, venue fire and other assorted ups and downs. But we're just as passionate as ever to serve our city and create church you can bring your friend to.
All kinds of people are part of Metro but most of us fit into the 18 to 35 age bracket, with a large number of students and urban professionals. We don't make any assumptions about a person's faith - or lack of it. Instead, we create experiences that work for everyone.
We meet 11am each Sunday at Bristol Cathedral School. The service lasts around 70 minutes or so. Expect an engaging talk, worship, and other creative bits and bobs.
The feel is informal and inclusive and we aim for everything that we do to be 'real, relevant and refreshing'. In other words, it's got to be authentic, it's got to relate to all of life and it's got to bring you into God's presence.
Check us out and let us know how you find us.
Our vision as a church is "to help people FIND Jesus and LOVE one another, then FOLLOW Jesus and SERVE their city".
What Alpha offers, and what is attracting thousands of people, is permission, rare in secular culture, to discuss the big questions - life and death and their meaning."
