ABOUT US
Who are we?
Our church is made up of people of all ages and varied backgrounds. We meet to worship God and serve Jesus Christ in the community of Bradford on Avon and the surrounding area.
Our faith is centred on the Bible - God’s message to humanity - and on Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2000 years ago, Jesus died and, after three days, rose again from the dead, so that sinners (as we all are) may, through repentance and faith, have peace with God and the gift of new life in Jesus Christ.
For more information about what we believe, please see our doctrinal statement.

Sunday services
We would be very happy to see you at one of our Sunday services. We meet at 11am and 6:30pm. They are open to the public and everyone is welcome to join us. They last for about 75 minutes in the morning and about 60 minutes in the evening.
During our meetings we sing hymns and songs and there are prayers and readings from the Bible. You can ask for a hymn book and a Bible from one of the stewards.
A central feature of our meetings is the sermon which focuses on a passage from the Bible and what it means for us today.
If you have children with you, we’d be delighted to see them too! We hope that even younger children can stay in the service but if they become restless, or if you simply prefer to, please feel free to take them to the Upper School Room (the stewards can direct you to it). The service is relayed there on an audio-visual link.
We stand to sing and also remain standing after the last hymn while a short blessing is pronounced. Otherwise we remain seated throughout the service.
Week-time activities
We run other activities during the week. For more information, see our what's on page, or any church member.
History
There has been a Baptist church meeting on this site for over 300 years – the present building dates from 1797. We have a booklet on the history of the church – there are usually copies on the table in the entrance hall and you are welcome to take one if you are interested.
