Welcome!

We are so pleased that you have found our website and we hope that you will decide to come along either to a Sunday Service or to one of our regular activities as shown below:

About Us

The SSJBC Family!

We are a small friendly Baptist Church with a BIG heart where everyone is welcome - check out this video

Our wider Church Family ranges from our youngest born in February 2023 to our oldest who is 102 - 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 2024 is 1 Peter 3:15

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 🙂

During COVID we pre-recorded our Sunday services and there are a great selection to watch on YouTube or via DVD on request.

Children & Youth

Godly Play is the way that we usually share the Gospel message with our younger children which Arnie leads fortnightly with something for our older children 'seniors' on the opposite Sunday - although our seniors are also welcome to join in with Godly Play.

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!

New Horizons Youth Group

A fun, friendly and safe place for young people to come and explore some of the BIG questions about life and to hear how the Bible speaks into these issues.

This is aimed at those in School Years 6-13 and mature younger children who are an active part of the SSJBC Church Family who can engage in a good discussion 🙂

Souper Thursday!

Souper Thursdays are a great way to explore the Bible in a truly relevant way.

Come and enjoy a soup and bread lunch whilst we listen to a passage of scripture and then discuss how it impacts us today. Everyone welcome, especially those who don't yet believe!

Renew SSJ : 10am - 12 noon Monday - Friday

Part of the national Renew Wellbeing Network of 'quiet shared spaces where it is ok not to be ok.'

Come and enjoy a cuppa and a chat, maybe do some colouring or play draughts, or just sit and "be" in our prayer area. Everyone welcome including the little ones 🙂

(Closed Bank Holidays & Last Thursday of month)

Chair Exercise Group @ Renew SSJ

Physical health and mobility is important for everyone regardless of age - so we have invited Jake from JG Fitness to hold his seated exercise & mobility group (£3.50 per session) every Monday (not Bank Holidays) from 11 - 11.45am.

We are open from 10am - 12 noon so come and enjoy a cuppa and make some new friends 🙂

Bonjour!

Did you learn French at school but haven't used it since?

Then why not come and join our friendly French Conversation group and start putting it to use - everyone welcome and all with a cuppa of course!

If it is your first time please text Jo first: 07712 137074

Crafting with Claire @ Renew SSJ

Come along and get creative!

Most Wednesdays between 10am - 12 noon @ Renew SSJ, local crafter Claire Dobson will be sharing a craft for everyone to try regardless of age or experience

So why not pop in and give it a try - over a cuppa of course 🙂

Knitting & Crochet Group @ Renew SSJ

Come and join this friendly group which takes place on Fridays between 10am - 12 noon where skills are shared, and creativity encouraged.

Everyone welcome - beginners especially welcome 😊

SSJ Community Choir - every Thursday

The Community Choir meets most weeks at 7.30pm on Thursday evenings at SSJBC led by Ian.

This is an amateur choir for people of all ages and abilities who just enjoy singing, so come along and have some fun - newcomers welcome but please do call first just to confirm it is taking place.
