West Cheltenham Parish

The Parish of West Cheltenham is a group of three sister churches located on the Western edge of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire: St Mark’s Church, St Barnabas Church and St Aidan & St Silas Church.

The parish is the largest in the Diocese of Gloucester, with over 30,000 people currently living within our boundary. This is set to increase substantially between now and 2030, with over 10,000 new residents moving here as part of the Cyber Park development.

It is a demographically mixed area, containing large amount of local authority (and ex-local authority) housing, alongside more affluent, newer housing. About a quarter of households within the parish are local authority tenants.

Our vision is to see communities and places buzzing with the extraordinary presence of Jesus, and we utilise both people and buildings to achieve this.
