A small Christian community was established in 1992, meeting first in homes, and then from 1995 in the portakabin which became the ‘Locking Castle Church and Community Centre’. In January 1998, the Locking Castle Christian Partnership was formally established, under the umbrella of Somerset Churches Together. Full-time leadership had been provided for the first time in the person of Methodist Deaconess Harriet Bacon, who was joined in 1998 by the first full-time Anglican Minister, the Revd John Bolton.  

When Harriet Bacon moved to a new post, it was felt that a single minister could be perceived as not providing sufficient grounding of the LEP within all four traditions. It was also financially difficult for the Free Churches to fund full-time ministry in Locking Castle. So a ministerial team was developed, drawing on Free Church ministers already in the area. Revd Brian Lawrence, a non-stipendiary Baptist minister, who was already a member of the congregation, joined the ministerial team until his retirement in February 2009. Revd Robert Channon (Methodist) also joined the team along with Revd Brian Townsend (United Reformed Church). Revd John Bolton retired in August 2006, as did Revd Brian Townsend at that time. In September 2007, with the assistance of URC funding, Revd Mark Elvin took up his post as the lead Minister within the ministry team.  

Since the last review in November 2003, the new church building has been completed. This has given the church many opportunities. However, it also brings its demands:  day to day management and the repayment of the loan given by the Diocese of Bath and Wells for the final stage of the construction of the building.
