About Us

We are a group of about 30 adult members and 12 children of various ages. Most of us regularly engage in Sunday worship and/or small group life. In addition to those born in the UK, we have a diverse international flavour, coming from five different continents! What we all have in common is our faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. We know we are lost without HIm and have no illusions about our goodness apart from Him. We are on a spiritual journey to become more like Jesus, and we invite you to join us in that lifelong pursuit.

Our MISSION

Stechford Baptist Church exists to...

  • love God

  • care for the community
