LOVECHURCH

LOVECHURCH — church in Bournemouth

LOVECHURCH is a Church of England congregation in the HTB Network, planted from Holy Trinity Brompton in London in 2014 into St Swithun's, a Norman Shaw-designed church in the centre of Bournemouth. It grew again in 2017, planting a second site into St Clement's in Boscombe - Grade I listed, and an area the church itself describes as one of real need and missional opportunity. Both sites share the same rhythm and values: Love God, Love People, Love Life. Sundays run twice at St Swithun's - 10:30am to midday (coffee from 10am) and 6pm to 7:30pm (with a café opening at 5:30pm) - built around contemporary worship, and the church also runs Kingdom Come, a dedicated evening given over to extended worship and prayer, making space for the Holy Spirit. LOVECHURCH is explicit about wanting to be a front door for anyone - 'whether you're exploring faith for the first time, returning to church, or looking for a place to call home' - and runs the Alpha course as its main on-ramp for that. Community action runs deep here: Love Your Neighbour provides food parcels and practical support, Christians Against Poverty offers financial counselling and befriending, Spear supports young people into employment, and Inspire Café is a weekly space for parents and toddlers. A dedicated youth congregation, LOVECHURCH YOUTH, meets Wednesdays 6:30-8:30pm and Sundays 10:30am-midday for school years 7 to 13.
