& Shine
Rise
Our hope is to paint emptying UK high streets yellow! We plan to bring a sense of community back into towns up and down the country, one delicious coffee shop at a time.
Of course, a vision like ours goes beyond what we can do in our own human strength. As a bunch of Jesus-followers, we don’t just want to be known for our coffee and cake. We want to give other Christ-seekers great teaching, a place to worship and space for them to meet with God for themselves.
The Bread Vision
“Our heart is to bring life, love, creativity, true identity and fresh hope to broken people and ruined cities.
It is now time to win back some of the emptying high streets in our land, ravaged by lifeless secularism and rampant individualism. With a Kingdom enterprise and presence our mission with Bread is to bring good food, great community and creative spaces to high streets across the nation, starting with Yeovil - nourishing body, soul and spirit in the grace of God as we do so. We aim to restore faith, spark fresh hope and connection, mentor the youth, bring cutting edge training and employment, regional growth and lasting prosperity.”
Dominic and Thea Muir

A Community Where You Belong
Whether or not you are already part of an existing Christian community - this won’t replace your home church. Bread is simply a place where you can pray, worship and study God’s word with people of faith, people of no faith, and people from different denominations.
Stay in touch.
The best way to find out what’s on at Bread is to sign up to our email newsletter. You’ll get info about meet-ups for men, women and parents with kids along with offers and general updates!

“Being at Bread in Yeovil at a conference, I experienced an atmosphere of the presence of the fullness of God. There was a sweetness, a holiness, a safety, a goodness, a deep joy and an indescribable pleasure to access and go deeper and deeper.”
Roxanna - Bread Conference attendee

“I am in no doubt that what I experienced was real and tangible and cannot be stolen. [...] To me, it felt like my tribe. I felt “at home” [...] To be able to live in Jesus the way I yearn to, with others also yearning and pursuing the same, was such a joy to me. No longer felt like a weirdo that was a little too enthusiastic about her walk with the Lord.”

“I attended your training needing healing, I needed the Lord to heal my mess and restore me to faith, my marriage [...]I also needed the Lord to heal me of my anger issues as they were becoming an issue with how I was speaking to my kids. Your men prayed for me, at the event as I left. [...] The Lord is faithful. This last year has been the best year of mine and Annabelle’s entire marriage. [...] The Lord has transformed and softened my heart. [...] I don’t lose my control anymore. [...] The Lord didn’t just heal, He totally restored me!”

Our Statement of Faith
We believe that there is only one true God who is the eternal King, Creator, and Redeemer of all that is. He is perfectly holy, just, loving, and truthful. He has revealed Himself to be eternally self-existent – one being in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We believe that the Bible is the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God. We believe that humankind was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him, yet we willfully rejected the Lordship and glory of God for which we were intended. Because of this, sickness, death, and judgement entered the world and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin.
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and is God’s Anointed One, empowered by the Holy Spirit to inaugurate God’s kingdom on earth. He was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, resurrected, and ascended into heaven, and is now alive today in the presence of God the Father and in His people. He is "true God" and "true man." We believe that we are saved by God’s grace, through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through repenting, believing, and receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. The Holy Spirit convicts, regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and adopts us as we enter the kingdom of God as His sons and daughters.
We believe in the ongoing, sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a holy life and minister super-naturally. The baptism of the Holy Spirit, according to Acts 1:4-8 and 2:4, is poured out on believers that they might have God’s power to be His witnesses. We believe in the victorious, redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy – sin, lies, sickness, and torment.
We believe that the Church consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. He gave His Church the ordinances of baptism and communion. The Church exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching and living the good news of God’s love, and discipling the nations – baptising and teaching them to love and obey God.
We believe in the ever-increasing government of God and in the Blessed Hope, which is the glorious, visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to rule and reign with His overcoming bride – the Church. We believe that heaven and hell are real places. There will be a resurrection of the lost and the saved, the one to everlasting death and the other to everlasting life.
