ABOUT US
Who Are We?
Buckhurst Hill Baptist Church is a church for everyone; a place where people from all walks of life come together to discover what life with Jesus is all about. We gather to worship, pray and learn from the Bible and to serve with open hearts and hands.
What Do We Do?
If you are looking for a church, never been to church before or are just curious about God …. you are always welcome. Our Sunday service at 10:30 am caters for everyone with a mix of contemporary and more traditional worship music, inspirational Bible preaching and teaching with space to receive prayer. During the Sunday morning service, there are also activities for children and young people. You will find a warm and friendly welcome and refreshments after the service.
During the week we have a number of small groups, interest groups and age-related groups; everything from an art group to a luncheon club, from a parents and tots group to youth groups, from social groups to house groups offering Bible study and prayer. A cafe, called The Lighthouse, is open for tea, coffee and lovely cakes during the week. Why not pop in and see what we are all about!?
