Living like Jesus and sharing him with others to advance the Kingdom of God
Welcome to the Bessels Green Baptist Church website!
We are a church that has been part of the local community for over 200 years.
We hope to meet the needs of all age groups through the many activities that run here weekly. We have various worship services on Sundays (10am with a crèche and Powerhouse for children, 10:30am Cafe at the Pub and Kids Club which is a joint venture with the Dukes Head Pub and other churches in Dunton Green and 6:30pm) and Wednesdays (8.15pm, an "Alpha-style" meeting called Wednesday Factor). See our Services page for further details and our Frequently Asked Questions page for more information.
Our vision and values guide who we are and what we do.
Our vision is: "Living like Jesus and sharing him with others to advance the kingdom of God ."
We want to live like Jesus: Jesus knew the love of his Father, was filled with the Holy Spirit and did what the Holy Spirit guided him to do.
We endeavour to share him with others: This means meeting people where they are, as well as inviting them to church activities. We try to share Jesus in relevant ways through our lives, actions and speech, expecting the Holy Spirit to bring about transformation.
And all of this is to advance the kingdom of God. We recognise that the focus of Jesus’ teaching was the “kingdom of God” (wherever, love, justice, inclusion and forgiveness are seen). This goes far wider than the Church and therefore, we should not limit God’s activity to us and our buildings.
Why not come along and check us out and hopefully become a part of our “kingdom” adventure!
