HistoryBodmin Road Church opened on this site in November 1968, built as the first streets of Bransholme itself were being built. It was funded and built by a group of people from Lee Smith Street Gospel Mission, a church which had to be demolished with the clearance of old housing along Hedon Road. The Lee Smith Street premises had suffered bomb damage and had never been properly restored after the war. A government war damages grant was thus available and helped to provide the initial capital. The move to Bransholme was primarily the vision of a young couple, Mike and Irene Morfin, who remained in lay leadership of the church for the next 40 years.The church has had numerous pastors over the years, and the current minister, Richard Bentley, arrived in 1995. Richard has established strong links within both the local community and the city. He leads the local area New Wine Leaders Network which offers support and ministry to church ministers and leaders.The building itself has undergone various extensions over the years and has housed a range of community projects including a Computer Centre and Basic Skills Project under the banner of Bransholme Family Focus. As a result of the floods in June 2007 the church required major refurbishment which saw the building closed for 11 months.We re-opened in May 2008 with new facilities and a new programme. Bodmin Road Church now offers a Community Café (The Olive Branch), Softplay facilities (The Ark), a Carers Service and various groups for children and young people. Our Sunday services are well attended and ensure that Jesus remains at the heart of everything we do.November 2008 saw the celebration of our 40th Anniversary, and we expect to be around for a long time to come!!
