St Peter’s Wellesbourne is in good health. Our 4 church health surveys over the past 4 years show a church improving in its health, morale and growth. It is now in the top 15% or so of churches nationally according to the Natural Church Development's 8 Essential Qualities.

St Peter’s have initiated and continue to support youth work in Wellesbourne (not just for the church), created two differing styles of morning services to cater for differing preferences in worship style, run ALPHA courses with people coming to faith, initiated prayer for healing in services, and created a link with the Amasango School in Grahamstown, South Africa.

From 24 people in small groups in 2014, there are now around 60 members meeting fortnightly in 7 groups. These include some from other denominations. The groups are based on the 5 “W” s of Welcome, Worship, Word, Witness and Well-being and are a key part of church life. They also serve as a next step for people completing our Alpha courses.

We are well-organised. There are 2 core teams organizationally - the PCC and the MST (Ministry Staff Team). The PCC meets 8 times a year and manages finance, fabric, relationships with the school and Youth Services, and responding to the eight EQs surveys. The MST (vicar , 2 self-supporting Associate Ministers, 3 lay leaders) meets weekly sharing pastoral information, progress and planning the next week. Each week 2 members share the progress in their areas and talk about their own journey with God.

Wellesbourne Youth Services engages with young people from diverse social groups including some difficult backgrounds. Run (and very largely funded) by the church, we offer separate Monday night youth club sessions for 10-14s and 14-18s. Our part-time youth worker is supported by church volunteers and paid sessional workers. The numbers for the younger session in particular have grown by a third in the past year with around 40-50 young people (across both age groups) coming each week. In the past 18 months, we have run 2 Youth Alpha courses for young people from WYS. Some young people have chosen to occasionally participate in church services and join CPAS Falcon holidays. WYS runs with Christian values, but its workers are not required to be practicing Christians.
