This church is the home of the national charity “Bibles
for Children”, founded in 1997, to provide Children’s Bibles and Bible
related material to pupils of any primary school in the U.K. Since its
formation we have provided over 330,000 children in over 1,350 primary
schools with their own Bible appropriate to their age, to be used in
school and taken home when they leave.
Background
Bibles for Children was
founded by Ted Hudson in 1997 to advance the understanding of the
Christian religion through the provision of Bibles which are appropriate
to their age to Primary School children. For the initial distribution
to all pupils in Year 2 and upwards, the Bibles are free of charge.
During its first
fifteen years of operation, the charity provided Children’s Bibles to
370,000 pupils in over 1,500 schools in 125 Local Education Authorities
throughout England, Wales and Scotland.
The most popular
book is The Children’s Bible, which contains almost 300 stories from the
Bible written in simple sentences, and printed in large type with
lively, colourful illustrations. A Welsh edition Beibl Y Plant is also
available and is of identical design and page numbering.
The Rainbow Good
News Bible is suitable for Year 6 pupils and is widely used in schools
with young people. It is in simple everyday language, with an
introduction to each book of the Bible, with maps, charts, full colour
illustrations and line drawings.

History & Purpose
The building is over 200 years old and a booklet giving its history is available from the church. The building is used by members to work closely with the other three Christian churches in Timsbury in order to:
- Work to meet the needs of those who live in Timsbury and its surroundings, and in other parts of the world.
- Preserve what is good from the past, and plan and work to meet the needs of the present and future.
- Acknowledge and worship God through regular services in the village, in the churches and the village hall.
- Learn how to be better Christians than we are and how to use our resources in an effective way.
- Support one another and share in each other’s joys and sorrows whilst seeking God’s love and peace to direct our lives.
A warm welcome awaits anyone who would like to visit, explore or join in any of our activities.
