Project History & Affiliations:
Gordano Valley Church (GVC) began in September 1990 and is a church not linked with any particular denomination. It could be described as evangelical, charismatic we tend not to use the term independent as all churches are co-dependent and we place a high value on unity and cooperation with other churches.
GVC is part of celebration churches network-a group of similar churches in and around the Bristol area, led by Rob Scott-Cook
Structure & Vision of the Project:
The church is led by 4 core leaders: Debbie Bonner, Julian Marsh, Dave Francis and John Vickers. Dave and John work full time for the church and John has overall responsibility as leader of the church. For more details on structure/vision see attachment
We desire GVC to be a church engaged in community and world GVC mission statement: to turn those who don't know Jesus into his fully devoted followers.
About the location of the Project:

The church also has offices and small meeting rooms based just off the High Street in Portishead at no.4 Combe Road. These offer meeting rooms for alpha, breakfasts, youth, house group, mums and tot groups

About the youth work of the Project:
The church youth work is linked into the MIX Bristol. Challengers is an open youth work which meets on a Friday evening with a varied program it seeks to be incarnational work with faith-sharing opportunities. It includes a weekend away and summer week.
