THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL PARISH OF ST PHILIP AND ST JACOB, BRISTOL 

Because we believe the fullness of life is found in Jesus, our mission is to help the people of Bristol to follow him. This includes activities such as: regular public worship open to all; pastoral work; promotion of Christianity through the staging of events and meetings; provision of activities for teenagers; supporting personnel and organisations involved in the work of the church worldwide.
