...a mustard seed…though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree (Matthew 13:31-32)

Well, yes…The Mustard Seed is small all right! But at its heart lies a vision that knows no bounds. The seeds of that vision were planted in 2002 and the first shoots appeared on 10 June 2004 when we opened for business (if you want to hear the full story call into the shop and chat to one of the partners!)

The Mustard Seed is an independent, non-denominational Christian book and gift shop run by two husband and wife teams…Malc & Ali Bromhall and Ian & Jo Hearle. Our mission is to equip and encourage churches and individual Christians in and around North Oxfordshire by providing a friendly and informed retail outlet.

We also want to be a catalyst for Christian live arts in our area and have already brought Irish singer-song writer Brian Houston and worship leader Dave Bilbrough to Banbury and have hosted productions by the Lacey Theatre Company, Viz-a-Viz, Saltmine Theatre Company and the Jasperian Theatre Company. More events will be planned for the future so watch this space!

What we lack in size we try to make up for in service. We can track down most items and orders are usually in stock within a week. We also offer a free delivery service within a 10-mile radius of Banbury (maybe a bit further if you ask nicely!)
