This group really is a caring and sharing group. We have been established 20 years and have shared lots of ups and downs in that time. God is at the centre of the group and our primary aim is to know more about Jesus and come closer to God. It has helped us all to grow spiritually, and long may that continue. Anyone can join us, you don’t have to be a member of the church, or even attend the church services, you just need to have a desire to know more about God. It is very inclusive and we have people from all denominations in the group.

If you want to have a laugh and a giggle mixed with more serious stuff like praying and/ or sharing our ups and downs of the week and you like music, then please join the group whenever you would like to. For us, it's all about fellowship and fun - playing an instrument or having a singing voice is just a bonus and obviously much appreciated. We do not aim for perfection. During this time we choose our songs for the next church service - this can be a song from 'The Mission Praise' songbook or another contemporary Christian song, we sing a mixture of old and new songs.
Worship Practice
Thursdays 7pm
This is the night we meet to plan the Sunday Service and practice the hymns we feel led to using.
As a worship group, we've got a mix of vocal styles and use of instruments. It's a bit more relaxed than on a Sunday, and a chance for us to worship differently than we do on a Sunday. Whenever or wherever we worship though, it should feel joyous, and it certainly is that way on a Thursday! It's also an additional chance to have fellowship together.
​
Not everyone who joins us on a Thursday is part of the Worship group, or even join us on a Sunday. Anyone who joins us is very welcome
As always, the more the merrier, so please accept this as a standing invitation to come along and join us!
Info coming soon
Bible Study
Wednesdays 7.30pm
Join us on a Wednesday evening for an hour of exploring and understanding God's Word, His every communication to us. We are a fairly small group, so very much relaxed and inviting. Not only that, we've got people at very different levels of bible 'understanding' - we're all still learning. The purpose is to get to a deeper level of understanding of what God is telling us through His word. We could read the same passage, the same parable, 5 different times, 10 times even, and each time come away with a new understanding. We might focus on a series (recently we have covered "Angels"), or let the Holy Spirit lead us, whether we have a set plan or not.
​
The Bible isn't always easy to understand, and can sometimes be a challenge. Let's work together to let God's Word transform us through the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2)
At SBC, we have a rolling programme of different services, including Scripture Services, Communion Services and Guest Speaker Services. We also have seasonal services such as at Easter, Christmas and Harvest. We are a very relaxed and informal fellowship with tea, coffee and biscuits available from start to finish.

Sunday Worship
10.30am
Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am among them" (Matthew 18:20)
​​​
As a Baptist church, our worship is very relaxed and, we feel, Holy Spirit driven. Our worship has a strong emphasis on lively singing of a mix of new contemporary songs as well as older hymns - all aimed at praising God. Prayer is a big part of our belief and so also features highly in our service.
​​
Once a month, we have Communion, with the remaining Sundays having a 'Message' given by a mix of very talented visiting ministers, or sometimes members of our own fellowship to share Gods Word with us and inspire and transform us in our lives
​
A warm welcome awaits all who join us. For those who can't make it, our service is live-streamed to YouTube and added to our website and Facebook afterwards, and so can be enjoyed with all God's richest blessings.
