Welcome:If you're looking for a place to find out more about Christianity, who God is and what He thinks about you then you've come to the right place. We are a mainstream bible believing church. We aren't perfect but we know a perfect God. The amazing thing about God is that He is interested in you personally!About God the Father: We believe that God made us loves us and has good plans for us. He longs for us to know Him as our gracious heavenly Father, full of tenderness and loving care. About God the Son: Jesus Christ is God's eternal Son, perfectly showing us God's nature and character. Jesus Himself said: - "Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father". (John 14.v9). It is only through the Lord Jesus Christ that we can know God personally, rather than as a remote idea. "I am the way, the truth and the life" Jesus once said. "No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 11.v.6).About God the Holy Spirit:He is given to us by Father and Son to make the truths of God live in our experience. Without the help of the Holy Spirit God's truth would be dry dogma and worship a meaningless ritual. He comes to teach, inspire and strengthen us in our Christian lives.About the Bible: We believe the bible is God's word to us and the key to fulfillment in personal, family and social life. "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (Psalm 119.105). We place a strong emphasis on teaching the practical relevance of the word of God to all aspects of daily living. About Baptism: We believe that baptism by full immersion is to be reserved for those who profess repentance and faith in Jesus Christ as their Saviour and Lord., "Repent and be baptised, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins" (Acts 2.v.38). About us...Our church came into being in 1929 when the Becontree Estate - at that time the largest council housing estate in the world - was built in East London, by the London County Council after 1921 for the families of soldiers who had served in World War I. The building in which we now worship, was erected in 1964 alongside the original church building which now serves as the church hall and is now used both for church activities and by community groups as part of our “bridging building” programme. We are
members of the
Baptist Union of Great Britain
Sunday worship is fairly traditional but flexible with the singing accompanied by keyboard. Songs are generally a mixture of both new and old from “Songs & Hymns of Fellowship”. The New International Version of the Bible is used. Songs and readings are usually projected onto a screen, although hymn books and Bibles are available in the pews. The church has a Loop System for those with hearing difficulties. We welcome those with any disabilities and our building is compliant with government disability access requirements. We are a small, caring and very friendly fellowship. We have a small Church Membership and a congregation of 20~30 people attending Sunday morning services, currently ranging in age from about 10 to 80 years. We meet Sunday and Wednesday evenings for Prayer and Praise and Bible study. We also run various activities throughout the week intended to both ”meet a community need” and build bridges between the community and church as part of our outreach. “We exist for God, taking the good news of Jesus to those in our community, sustained by worship, Bible teaching and the loving support of each other”.- Our Statement of intent.
