The church with open doors

The doors of our church are open every day from 9:30am to 3:30pm to welcome all people. Whether you are residents of Frome or visitors, we invite you to encounter our living faith in Jesus Christ, to worship with us, and to learn about our rich history as the origin and centre of the town of Frome.

At the heart of Frome

Founded by St Aldhelm in AD 685, St John's is at the heart of Frome and has been marked and changed by the course of Frome's history. We have borne continuous witness to the Christian faith within this community, and are excited to see how we can continue to be the presence of Christ in the life of the town and our visitors.

We have a eucharistic heart which means we are committed to being a real presence of Christ in the midst of our busy market town.
