Ocean with David Attenborough - Friday 1st May

A week before Sir David Attenborough turns 100, Planet Wimborne and The Lantern Church are partnering to put on a free showing of Ocean, the 2025 feature-length film which Sir David says delivers ‘the greatest message he’s ever told’. To a backdrop of stunning footage of both the open ocean and the wonders of underwater life, he shows how the world’s oceans and our understanding of them have changed over the course of his lifetime, and shares why a healthy ocean keeps the entire planet stable and flourishing. While the realities and challenges facing our oceans are seen as never before, the story is ultimately one of hope and optimism. Doors open for the event at 7pm, with refreshments served prior to the film’s start at 7.30pm. You can book your free tickets HERE

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.
