Mary's House Community

Mary’s House Community is a new initiative for the spiritually curious in Frome, exploring what Christian wisdom might teach us about how to live more fully in an uncertain world. MHC is an independent charity which hopes to a home for those on the edges, a place of welcome for those who have felt marginalised by the established church, yet also a space where those comfortable in their faith can deepen their journey alongside others. We believe in gathering without barriers; in conversation rather than certainty; in walking together rather than drawing lines.

Our community holds at its heart

• Contemplation – experiencing stillness and the silent presence of God

• Dialogue – listening and learning from each other

• Creation - seeking a deeper relationship with the natural world,

We are a group of people learning to be a community by gathering for contemplation, dialogue, organised events and shared meals.

We are developing a garden adjacent to St Mary’s church to be a welcoming and inclusive space where people can find stillness and beauty. Our intention is to offer physical and spiritual hospitality, as well as gardening opportunities, for the wider community.

We long to create a space where questions of faith and humanity can be shared and a rhythm of living established that deepens our relationships and understanding so that we can live with greater compassion, courage and joy.

If you are curious, longing, or simply seeking companionship on the journey, we warmly invite you to join us at one of our upcoming gatherings
