Many people can describe transcendent moments in nature where they feel deeply connected to something bigger than themselves and Forest Church is a way to explore that connection within community. Forest Church is a fresh expression of church drawing on much older traditions when sacred places and practices were outside – but it is also drawing on contemporary research that highlights the benefits of spending time with nature in wild places. We endeavour to have the least amount of impact as possible on the environment in which we meet. Please keep this in mind when you join us.
Forest Church, an international initiative, isn’t just normal church happening outside, instead it attempts to participate with creation. And it isn’t just a fellowship group doing an outside activity, we aim to learn, worship, meditate, pray and practice with the trees, at the spring, along the shore.... “Open your eyes and there it is! By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can’t see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being” Romans 1v20 (The Message).
New Forest Forest Church has been meeting since August 2014, Wylye Valley Forest Church has been meeting since June 2022. Our aim is to facilitate opportunities for the above verse to be experienced by those who join in our gatherings.
