How can you help?

Volunteers save the church money, so please put your name forward for Saturday sort - it, Friday fix - it or Maintenance to Mission Saturday. We can then plan a schedule of tasks and projects for the rest of the year. All are welcome and we can find a job suited to any skill set so please get in touch!

All you need is some spare time and the willingness to help! Jobs can include things like cleaning, clearing, gardening, painting etc.. or more skilled jobs involving fixing things, or maybe a spot of plumbing, whatever suits your skill-set.

Grant funding is key for larger projects and is a potential significant income source. We would like to research and apply for possible grants. Could you help us?

Gardening team help for the church garden, church hall and office gardens, including fortnightly grass cutting.

Please use the sign up sheet in the church foyer, contact the church office or contact Keith Loveless direct on 07768 197095.

Planning your Visit

Welcome from the Vicar

Let me welcome you to St John’s! I am so delighted you have found our web site. We are a Church family in Wimborne for anyone living, working or studying around this area. Whoever you are, whatever your age, whether you’re an experienced Christian or not, we would love you to join us.

From an intrigued onlooker to the committed follower we are keen that everyone should grow in relationship with God through knowing Jesus. To help us do that our emphasis is on hearing God speak to us by his Holy Spirit through his word, the Bible. Each of us knows that we only grow in a relationship with someone and get to know them when we spend time listening to them and responding and reacting to what they say. So the focus of St John’s is on listening to God’s word, talking to him in prayer and taking up all that he says.

The Church family here at St John’s longs to help anyone who wants to investigate the life of Jesus. On this site you will find people, meetings, talks and events shaped to help you take another step forward in finding out more about God and his love for us in Jesus, and to help you get linked into the church family life.

I do hope I will have the opportunity to meet you personally in the very near future and that you will quickly feel at home at St John’s.

Revd. Peter Breckwoldt
