| Purpose | The mission of Church on the Bus can be expressed as 3 points: a) To be a listening ear and offer friendship, shelter, a hot drink, and sandwiches to vulnerable and sometimes homeless adults. b) When appropriate, to signpost guests to other agencies or charities which offer hospitality at other times, or specialist support with issues such as housing, addiction, and mental health. c) The one thing which offers a real chance for life change is if our guests could find faith in Jesus. We seek opportunities to share the gospel with our guests, to plant the seeds of faith or build on what faith they may already have, then to help them consider linking in with a local church. |
| Services | We provide food, friendship, clothing, toiletries, sleeping bags, all with prayer when requested, to the homeless and disadvantaged. The food consists of soup, sandwiches, hot drinks, and at Chesterfield, provisions donated by Greggs. Our dedicated volunteers lead the sessions. |
