Street Pastors is an inter-denominational Church response to urban problems, engaging with people on the streets to care, listen and dialogue.

It was pioneered in London in January 2003 by Rev Les Isaac, Director of the Ascension Trust, and has seen some remarkable results, including drops in crime in areas where teams have been working. There are now over 100 teams around the United Kingdom.  Each city project is set up by Ascension Trust and run by a local coordinator with support from Ascension Trust and local churches and community groups, in partnership with Police, Council and other statutory agencies.

Weymouth Baptist Church actively supports the Street Pastors initiative and have several fully trained pastors in action evanglising on the streets of Weymouth on both Friday & Saturday nights.  For further information on how you can be involved in this project, e-mail the local coordinator Tony Stephens at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
