Wellspring is a worship community based in St Paul’s church hall. It is a school and church partnership where we provide free children’s activities and a free hot meal to around 60 adults and children. Our vision is to ‘build community and explore faith’ and we do this by volunteering, eating and having fun together. Every week while the children go out to do activities, the grown ups listen and reflect on a Scripture or a personal testimony and questions and answers are shared in small groups on tables with table leaders. People who would never consider going to church enjoy coming, and give feedback such as ‘I feel peaceful after coming’ and ‘I’m not religious but have become more open minded since coming to Wellspring’. Some have gone on to join Bible study groups, Alpha courses and go to Christian festivals and worship evenings
