Worshipping God and pursuing His presence in our lives and meetings, and using the gifts of the Holy Spirit for the Glory of God.

“My presence shall go with you...”

HONOUR

Honouring God and honouring each other according to the incredible value that God places on us.

“Outdo each other in showing honour”

BELONGING

A diverse family on a mission enjoying authentic relationships and seeing every person accepted as a valued part of the body and with a role to play.

“you are the body of Christ and each one of you is a part of it”

Newfrontiers

Grace Church is part of something larger than itself, Newfrontiers, a network of church families all holding to the same values that shape and define us as we take the good news of Jesus to different parts of the globe.

Where We’ve Come From

In 2003 a small group of twenty-five ordinary people and their families, a number of whom moved to the area from a Newfrontiers church in Bournemouth, came together to start a Newfrontiers church in Salisbury. We’re a people who are passionate about Jesus and seeing Him change and impact lives.

The church has grown, moving to larger venues and now around 180-200 people meet every Sunday morning to share in worship, Bible teaching and spending time together.

We have a strong and vibrant kids work and youth group at Grace Church.
