TRINITY CHIPPENHAM

Trinity Chippenham began meeting in rented facilities in Chippenham, on Sunday the 5th of January, 2014. Sunday gatherings are open to the public, meeting in the afternoon, with contemporaneous children's programmes (TC Tots for 0-3 year olds and Kids Club for 4-11 year olds). Various midweek events are run, including a youth group and life groups meeting in homes to study the Bible and pray.
