StreetLight 

The StreetLight Project in Wimborne is a vibrant community hub and Christian charity based in a converted warehouse on Stone Lane Industrial Estate. Opened in 2014, it combines an indoor skate park, café and soft-play area with a welcoming space for people of all ages and abilities to connect, learn and have fun. Alongside skate sessions and lessons, it offers free activities and family-friendly spaces, and also hosts community events, private hires and faith-based outreach – bringing together the local community in one lively venue.
Demonstrating God’s love in action
Every welcoming smile, skate lesson and free coffee is a tangible expression of Christ’s love. StreetLight isn’t about preaching first; rather, we focus on listening to people’s struggles and sharing Christ with them through these encounters. It’s about being good news: creating a space where people feel valued, safe and seen, regardless of their background or belief.
Building genuine community and belonging
The Centre embodies the Christian call to ‘love your neighbour’ by bringing together families, young people and volunteers into a shared space of care and connection. It mirrors the Early Church’s spirit – community formed through hospitality, shared meals and mutual support.
Creating opportunities for faith conversations
In relaxed, relational settings like the café or skate park, authentic conversations about hope, meaning and God can naturally unfold. It’s a soft-entry way for people who might never step into a church to encounter Christian faith through friendship and trust.
None of the work – and we mean none of it – is possible without Christ first making it possible. He provides the income through his people, and brings those who need support and prayer to our doors. We have seen God answer too many prayers for us not to trust solely in him for the entire project. Thanks be to God!

Planning your Visit

Welcome to St John's Church!

We are so delighted that you have found our website. We are a Church family in Wimborne for anyone living, working or studying around this area. Whoever you are, whatever your age, whether you’re an experienced Christian or not, we would love you to join us.

From an intrigued onlooker to the committed follower we are keen that everyone should grow in relationship with God through knowing Jesus. To help us do that our emphasis is on hearing God speak to us by his Holy Spirit through his word, the Bible. Each of us knows that we only grow in a relationship with someone and get to know them when we spend time listening to them and responding and reacting to what they say. So the focus of St John’s is on listening to God’s word, talking to him in prayer and taking up all that he says.

The Church family here at St John’s longs to help anyone who wants to investigate the life of Jesus. On this site you will find people, meetings, talks and events shaped to help you take another step forward in finding out more about God and his love for us in Jesus, and to help you get linked into the church family life.

We hope to have the opportunity to meet you personally in the very near future and that you will quickly feel at home at St John’s.
