Due to the current coronavirus situation we have taken the decision to suspend all activities that meet at the church for the foreseeable future. This is in line with Government guidance and advice received from the Baptist Union of Great Britain. We encourage church members not to meet up over this time period, but stay in touch via phone, texts, social media platforms etc.

But that doesn't mean nothing is happening in our church community even though many of us are hunkered down at home. Our minister Stuart, will be recording his sermons which you can listen to here and at 10.45 am each Sunday morning we are asking everyone to spend some time in prayer to commit each other to God.

The 24-7 Prayer website also has resources to prayer specifically about our response to the coronavirus.

Many are frustrated that we can't get out and about as usual during lockdown, despite it looking like we're in for a sunny Bank Holiday weekend.

You can watch exclusively from www.youtube.com/bigchurchdayout. The main stage starts at 6pm.
