Salthouse · Portishead
A new kind of church, the size of a table
We’re not one big congregation. We’re a family of small communities meeting every week across Portishead — in halls, cafés, front rooms, even the woods — and once a month, the whole tide comes in and we gather as one.
Find your tableWhat’s a micro church?
Church small enough to know you, honest enough to be known in, and shaped to fit real life.
Small
A dozen or so people, few enough that everyone is known. Unhurried, meaningful conversation — nobody gets lost in the crowd, because there isn't one.
Distinct
No two communities are alike: each has its own people, its own style, its own day and time. Find the one that fits your life — they happily overlap.
Together
Once a month every community gathers under one roof to worship, celebrate, and share a meal — one church with many tables.
Weekly
Your micro church meets wherever suits it best — what matters isn’t the room but the conversation: encouragement and resources for your walk with God through the week ahead.
Monthly
Everyone, all together, one celebration — and a meal shared as friends, because growing together is part of the point. High tide for the whole Salthouse family.
Find your table
Three communities so far, each with its own feel and rhythm — and room at every one. Come as you are; no experience of church required.

Who we are
Salthouse grew out of the Baptist family, and we’re grateful for those roots. But we hold our shape lightly: we think church is less a building you visit and more a people you belong to. So we’ve traded one big gathering for many small ones, scattered through — and around — the town we love.
