1992

The Church was founded by a small band of bible-believing Christians. The 16 founder members initially met in rented premises. During the first year the church was accepted as a member of the Baptist Union of Great Britain.

1996

  

We were able, with help from various Baptist funding facilities, to purchase our own   building.

1999

 

The next major step of faith was to seek the Lord with regard to calling our own Minister. After much prayer, and on the clear direction of the Lord, the Church called Rev. Malcolm Thorpe and he accepted the Pastorate on a half stipendiary basis.

2003/4

As a result of faithful giving, we no longer required Home Mission support.

2005/6

Due to continued generous giving, we were able to complete repayment of existing loans  and, with new loans, undertake a major extension to the premises.

2007

 

With the retirement of Pastor Malcolm, the Lord called a long-standing member and serving   Deacon, John Wood, to be our Pastor.

2008

 

Pastor John was accepted for Accreditation with the Baptist Union of Great Britain, and will  commence part-time studies at Bristol Baptist College, while continuing to serve as part-time Pastor.

 

 

There are currently 44 members and the worship area has been enlarged, to include a platform and baptistry see Events page for our recent baptisms).
