Night Shelter 

This last Wednesday evening here at EBC we hosted our first night shelter evening. Six different churches in Bracknell including ourselves are hosting different evenings in the week to provide an overnight shelter for those who are homeless. The Night Shelter is being coordinated by the Pilgrim Hearts Trust who already run daytime drop ins for those who are homeless during the week.

The idea of the Night Shelter is to provide a warm, safe and comfortable place for people who would otherwise be out on the streets sleeping rough. We are running it for the next eight weeks during the coldest time of the year as a pilot scheme to see whether it works and could be extended.

At EBC our night is Wednesdays and a great team of volunteers across three different shifts provide an evening meal, overnight support with camp beds and sleeping bags and breakfast in the morning.

The Night Shelter has also received coverage from the BBC and you can read that here.

I want to say a particular thank you to Fay Philp and Jacque Childs who are coordinating this from our end at EBC and who have done a huge amount of work to make sure we were ready to open on Wednesday. Please do contact Fay if you would like more information or to be involved.

God bless
Chris

I am New 

Welcome from all of us at Easthampstead Baptist Church!

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about us. As you explore our website, we hope that you catch a broader glimpse of what EBC is all about. It's about people - people just like you - who want to embark on a journey to discover more of God and his will for our lives.
 

What should I expect on a Sunday Morning?

Sometimes going to a church for the first time can be a little daunting. I promise we won't bite! To help ease any uncertainties below are the answers to some common questions people have before attending a Sunday morning.
 
What do I have to wear?
We are a 'come as you are' sort of people and have no formal dress-code for our Sunday services.
We can assure you that we don't have bouncers on the door vetting your attire!
If you are still not sure, feel free to check out our services on YouTube to have an idea.
 
What time do I need to be there?
At the moment we have one Sunday morning service which starts at 10.00am.
 
On the 4th Sunday of the month we run our All-sorts service which starts at 10:00am.

Check out our other services below!

We would recommend you turn up 10 minutes before the service starts so you have a chance to say hi!
If you have children that need signing in to the children and youth work, they need to be signed in from 9:50am.
 
Parking
There is plenty of parking both out the front and at the back of the building. Just follow the signs!

How safe is my child in your care?
We run separate children and youth work during our 10:00am service, which is run by a group of volunteers who have all been DBS checked.

Children ages 11 and under must be signed in and out by their parent/carer. The youth can sign themselves in and out.
