About Oswestry
Christian Bookshop:
We operate in the market
town of Oswestry, Shropshire, on the border of Wales. Our 27
year-old business is situated in an attractive 18th Century listed
building. Ten years prior to the opening of our shop we ran the
business from a Christian bookstall in the local market, and at
local agricultural shows. The move to the present building was due
to the Vision of the members of the local evangelical church, to
make available on a daily basis access to Bibles, books and
Christian resources.
The Vision has grown and seen expansion into
many areas, for example working with churches of all denominations,
educational establishments, and the general public.
Under the umbrella of our charity we have seen
the establishment of the Kingswell Centre. This is a Youth and
Family Centre, which is a partnership between Spurgeon's Child Care
and ourselves. A more recent development has enabled us to offer
office space within our building to the ‘Churches Together in
Oswestry’ Schools Worker.
Opportunity to browse and order literature is
helped by the serving of refreshments within the retail area of the
shop. Our ground floor showroom has a wide variety of books gifts
and resources. The first floor showroom has a wide range of
children's books and gifts, also incorporated is a comprehensive
display of over 1,000 second-hand Christian books.
Don't only visit us
on our Website please come and have a cup of tea or coffee and
enjoy the happy atmosphere that so many of our customers
mention.
