St Michael’s Church in Twerton is one of the oldest churches in Bath and probably the oldest building in Twerton, but its community of people is definitely not a relic of the past. It is part of a family of churches called ‘Marlbrook’. As a growing inter-generational, socially diverse community of people, they are passionate and creative, focused on serving everyone in Twerton. With a big heart for creating spaces of refuge and belonging, the vision is to see lives transformed and empowered to find security and significance. Projects include Lighthouse Cafe at Rose Cottage, Lighthouse Community Centre, and Lighthouse Chaplaincy in the local School.
