A church where everyone belongs
Whether it’s your first time or you’ve been coming for years — you are welcome here. Come as you are, bring the family, and find a place at the table.
Belong before believing
We’re an ordinary bunch of people in Marston Moretaine trying to follow Jesus and love our village well. We meet on Sundays, eat together during the week, and try to be the kind of community where you can belong long before you’ve got it all worked out. No dress code. No church experience needed. Just bring yourself.
Welcome — whatever language you call home
Our village and our church family come from many places. However you say it, there’s a seat at the table for you.
Sundays
10:30am, every week. All-age welcome to start; children head to KidZone partway through.
Where
Forest End site, Marston Moretaine VC School, Great Linns, MK43 0DD. Parking on site; step-free access.
Afterwards
Stay for coffee and cake — there’s no rush. It’s the best bit.
Thinking of coming? Start here
Walking into a new church can feel daunting — so here’s the honest version: come as you are, you won’t be singled out, and there’s no such thing as too many questions. Whichever of these sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.
I’d like to visit
Come along on a Sunday, or to The Table midweek. We’ll make sure you’re welcomed and never left on your own.

Church, reimagined for our village
“What if God is calling us to be a church that goes beyond Sundays — that partners with our village, and puts faith into action in everyday spaces?” We call it church beyond walls: wherever people gather and Jesus is welcome, that’s church.
See what we doAn ordinary church, with a big hope
Vale Community Church is a Baptist church in the heart of Marston Moretaine — a warm, hopeful community trying to follow Jesus and love our village. We’re a registered charity, part of the Central Baptist Association, led by pioneer ministers Dan & Annie Dupree. More than a Sunday service, we’re a family reaching into everyday life.
Belonging
You can belong here long before you’ve got faith figured out.
Everyday faith
Church beyond walls — faith lived out in the ordinary places of village life.
Everyone included
Whatever your age, ability or story, you’re wanted here.
Around the table
Food, hospitality and friendship are at the heart of how we love people.
Pioneering
We try new things and meet people where they are — where God’s already at work.
Better together
We’re humble enough to know we can’t — and shouldn’t — do this alone.
Life together, through the week
Some of the best of our life together happens around a table, in a hall, or over a drink in the week.
The Table
A free community meal every Tuesday — good food, warm company, no strings. Come hungry, leave known.

Creative, joyful, all-age church for families — crafts, story, songs and food. Perfect with little ones.
See what’s on →KidZone & Youth
A warm, safe welcome for children and young people to belong, explore and have fun.
For families →Doubts & Drinks
Honest conversations about faith, doubt and life — often in the pub. Bring your questions.
Join in →Life Groups — the heartbeat of Vale
Following Jesus was never meant to be done alone. Life Groups are small groups of 8–10 people meeting in homes through the week — to share life, pray, open the Bible and care for one another. It’s where faith gets personal and friendships grow.
There’s a group for you, including a Friday group. The best way in is simply to come and try one.

147 neighbours around one table
Since The Table launched in January, it’s become a settled, trusted part of village life — a place of belonging, dignity and quiet transformation.
We don’t do this alone
So much of what happens at Vale happens alongside the people and organisations we partner with.
The Heart of Marston
Serving our village side by side — community projects, prayer art and volunteering together.
Our local schools
Weekly Storytellers assemblies, hosting Sunday gatherings, and walking with families.
Tek Ura & At the Bridge
Our mission partners in Albania and the UK — shaping our vision.
We’re also grateful to partner with St Mary’s Anglican Church, Marston Moretaine Parish Council, FareShare, the Co-op and the wider Baptist family.
Watch a service, any time
Every Sunday service and talk is recorded to our YouTube channel — so you can catch up if you miss a week, or have a look before you visit.
