Bethel Baptist Church

We like to think our ourselves as one big family!

We come from a variety of denominational backgrounds and experiences, and we believe that this helps us to be an open, friendly and welcoming church.

Find out how you can get more involved with us:

Church Membership

Church Membership is open to anybody who professes faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour and who has been baptised, or who has made a commitment through another Christian church tradition.

We believe that Church Membership is an individual response to God’s sovereignty and Lordship.

We believe that it is by God’s will that we are led to worship at Bethel and that God’s leading is one of purpose – That He calls us to be a fully active part of the family that He is building up in this place.

When we become a Church Member we acknowledge and declare God’s sovereignty in our life and we commit ourselves to His purpose and to the fellowship.

Individuals wishing to become a Church Member should speak with one of the deacons or the minister.

Discipleship Courses

As Christians we recognise that we always have something new to learn; about God, ourselves and the call to mission and evangelism.

At Bethel we provide opportunities to grow in our discipleship through Sunday worship, House Groups and through short courses.

In 2008 we ran an Alpha Course and in 2010 we will be running a Simply Christianity course. More details about the Simply Christianity course will be coming soon!

Pastoral Care

At Bethel we recognise the importance of pastoral care within the fellowship and beyond.

Through the Pastoral Care Team we aim to maintain contact with all of the members and friends of the church and to offer practical help and assistance where possible.

Each week there is a designated member of the Pastoral Care Team who is ‘On-Call’. This person oversees the pastoral care for the week, and keeps in contact with the Pastoral Care Co-ordinator and the minister.

The Pastoral Care Team are ready and willing to visit individuals in their homes, and are able to provide Communion at home when requested.

Please use the Contact Us page to get in touch with us if you would like one of the team to visit or contact you.
