The Parish Centre, was purchased and refurbished in 1996, is situated about 100 metres from the Parish Church and is used regularly by both church and secular organisations. The centre hosts the highly successful monthly outreach lunches held in aid of various charities. Currently, the annual income does not cover the running costs; however, the PCC has accepted its value to the parish. |

The Church Hall at Watermoor was built in 1972. The hall is used regularly for the Sunday school and a number of parish events. One of the few halls in the town with parking spaces, it is in demand by other organisations, has regular bookings throughout the week and is often used at weekends for parties. |
The Corner Stone book and coffee shop was set up as a limited company in 1991 as part of the churches’ ministry. There is also a shop in St John Baptist. The board of directors meets quarterly and all profits are covenanted to the parish. Situated in Dollar Street, adjacent to the vicarage, it supplies a wide range of Christian books, music, cards and gifts to local people, schools and visitors to Cirencester. It also supplies many churches of all denominations.
The Corner Stone provides a welcoming and peaceful setting where the manager and staff offer support and a listening ear to those seeking pastoral care. The manager and assistant manager are salaried, the counter staff volunteers. The shop in the Parish Church is staffed by the volunteer church stewards. |
