Children (5-11)

At Bessels Green, we cherish our vibrant Children’s ministry, echoing Jesus’s teachings on the importance of childlike faith (Matthew 18:1-3).

Our Safe To Grow policy (all leaders DBS checked) ensures a secure environment for children to learn, play, and deepen their relationship with God.

Join us on Sunday mornings at Powerhouse for engaging activities aligned with the main service.

Young People

At Bessels we are passionate about allowing our young people to grow up in a safe, loving, challenging, forgiving and authentic environment. We seek to share the amazing story of Jesus with them, and help them as they ask questions, push boundaries and explore their own faith.

We have a number of regular groups for our young people:

  • Going Live – for young people aged 10-18, meets on Sunday mornings during the morning service.

  • ‘Un Baja’ – for Yrs 7-13, meets every Wednesday evening, 7:00-8:30pm, in the Youth Lounge, to chill out and chat about faith.

For more details please contact Josh.

Sport

Bessels Green Baptist Church don’t only meet to improve our spiritual health! Over the years a number of weekly activities have sprung up out of our church family thanks to enthusiastic members getting together for a run-around.

All our sports activities have loads of people committed to them who don’t come to church services or necessarily believe in God.

Art Clubs

A tutored morning is held every Friday in term-time in the church hall from 10.00 to 12.30.

Some experience in painting and drawing is useful as we tend to assume the ‘basics’.
