Welcome to Sutton Saint James Baptist Church
About Us
The SSJBC Family!
We are a small friendly Baptist Church with a BIG heart where everyone is welcome!
Our Church family ranges from our youngest twin boys born in December 2019 to our oldest who is 99 and many of our family are very new to church life!
Our aim is to open the doors and love people and our guiding verse for 2021 is Isaiah 43: 18-19
Sundays @ SSJBC
We are open for Sunday services @ 10.45am every Sunday followed by refreshments. Our Communion service is usually the 1st Sunday of each month. Everyone is welcome 🙂
We are also continuing to pre-record the service for those unable to attend and this is available on YouTube or via DVD
Godly Play
Godly Play is the way that we share the Gospel message with our younger children and this will restart again on 28th November.
Arnie has produced many Godly Play stories on line which can be viewed on our YouTube Channel along with other specials by Duggy Dug Dug!
