Marker of talent
Sometimes, after a Friday night meeting of Forefront’s Unite youth club, we can’t wipe the whiteboard clean quickly enough! And sometimes, you just don’t want to wipe it off at all. That was the case after youth member Henry Atkinson-Body stunned everyone by picking up a marker pen and sketching this portrait of Cap’n Jack […]
Peter’s wobbly moment
Peter walks on the water, with Jesus and their boat … all modelled in a cup of jelly. Children from Rocks ‘n Topz had fun this week making their own Lake Galilee (or is that Jellilee?)
Children of all ages are welcome to join us each Sunday morning at Chard Guildhall for our traditional Sunday School, with crèche for younger kids and the 180 youth group for those over 11.
Board directors
It takes a lot of smart people working hard behind the scenes to get the Sunday service at Chard Guildhall going each week – set up, projection, children’s church, sound, catering and more. Here, Pete and Philip put the sound board through its paces.
Conversation pieces

Leading questions
We’ve updated the leadership page … find out how Forefront leadership works, and who to go to with a question. Members can find ministry leaders, Life Group leaders, trustees, staff and the leadership team through the contact sheet, and anyone can get in touch at Forefront Centre.
Life Group review
Much of the pastoral, social and spiritual life of Forefront Church takes place in our seven Life Groups, which take place across Chard on different week nights. We invited members to meet together on Monday night for a “20,000 mile service”, to test our assumptions and make sure they are still firing on all cylinders. […]
