What is the worship like?
Sunday morning worship
is for all ages, and part of the time is usually spent all together.
Children especially should feel free and at home in the church. There is a
Creche, plus groups called Kaleidoscope for younger people. The service
includes a quiet time for knowing the peace of God and reflecting on the
depths of God's love. The aim is to provide a balanced act of worship in
which people of varied ages and dispositions, can offer their worship and
receive God's word in Christ. There is a quieter, more devotional service
in the Chapel at 6 o'clock on Sunday evenings.
What sort of church is it?
The name of the church
is "Abbey Centre Baptist Church". It is a member of The Baptist Union.
Those who become members of the church are asked to remember the work of
the wider Baptist family in their prayers and their giving. Worship may
include references to Baptist principles and witness, but people from all
kinds of Christian traditions (and none!) quite happily share in Abbey
Centre Baptist Church life and worship.
Abbey Centre Baptist Church
is a "Free Church". Individuals are invited to respond to what God has to
say to them in Jesus Christ in whatever way seems good to their own
conscience. We are not bound by state or creed, nor limited by tradition
or book. The life of our church is governed by church members meeting to
discover what it means to be "The Body of Christ" here and now.

the minister ( Gareth Shepherd ) or any church member.
