Men’s Beach walk and a coffee?
Calling all men of Lovechurch, come and join us for a relaxed morning enjoying a walk and talk along the beach!
We’ll meet at Boscombe Pier at 8:30am for a chance to get outdoors, connect with others and enjoy some good conversation as we walk along the seafront. Whether you’ve been part of Lovechurch for years or are newer to the church, you’re welcome to come along.
A Celebration of Creativity
What a wonderful day we shared at our Heritage Project Art Festival! It was a joy to see St Swithun’s come to life as artwork adorned one side of the church, bringing colour and character to our historic building. With pieces from 13 talented artists displayed alongside artwork created by children from our own church family, the exhibition was a beautiful celebration of the creativity within our community.

Thinking about getting baptised?
This year, we’ve loved seeing people take steps of faith at Lovechurch, from exploring life and faith on Alpha to celebrating baptisms together on the beach this summer. It has been so incredible to see what God is doing in people’s lives, and we’d love to celebrate more stories of faith this November!

Connect:SYA - in the spot light
We believe that life is better when it's lived in community. While gathering together on Sundays is a vital part of church life, some of the deepest friendships and greatest encouragement often happen throughout the week in our smaller gatherings.
Why are boundaries so tricky?
We all desire to be liked in some capacity. Because of this, setting boundaries can sometimes feel really conflicting and uncomfortable. But, as Rev Will Van der Hart reminded us: "Being liked is not the mission."
