Who and where we are

Salt & Light Advance is a family of churches and leaders, working together to see God’s kingdom extended in towns and cities around us.

Vision, values and priorities

We are committed to working together on spiritual life, evangelism, training, church planting, other nations and societal impact.

Together we are planting a new church for the town of Cheltenham, as well as a supporting new works in Banbury and Swindon, and asking in prayer about Newbury.
