Welcome to St Saviour's Church

We're a friendly, caring, inter-generational Anglican church serving the Iford/Boscombe East area of Bournemouth. We are committed to loving Jesus with our whole lives, and to loving and serving each other and our wider community.

Weekly services

Everyone is welcome at our morning praise service at 10.30am, including a mixture of 'in person' and online elements. There is currently no need to book, but seats will be available on a first come, first served basis.  

A midweek traditional Communion service, with hymns accompanied by our organist, is held on Wednesday mornings at 9.30am. A time for contemplation and quiet.

If you are unable to attend in church, please join St Saviour's online! The church is a more than just a building and we are seeking to worship, pray, and hear the Word of God together as we connect online. Our online services can found on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/StSavioursChurchBournemouth?sub_confirmation=1
