On the Move!

If you are an EBC regular you will have heard by now that Ruth, Emily, Jessica and I will be moving later on in the summer to Andover where I am going to be taking up the role of Senior Minister of Andover Baptist Church.

It has been an incredibly tough decision for us to make but we are sure it is where God is leading us as a family. We have been and continue to be so happy to be a part of the EBC church family and the thought of leaving is one that fills us with sadness. We have had an amazing 18 years at EBC and have so many great friends and it has been a huge priviledge to serve in the church here.

I hadn't been looking for a new job, but following some conversations with various people at Andover we felt it was something we should pursue. After lots of prayer and discussions last week the members of the church in Andover voted to call me to serve as their new Senior Minister and we accepted.

We won't be moving until Emily has finished her GCSEs so will probably be late June/early July and in the meantime it is very much business as usual at EBC. The Elders and Leaders will be talking about what comes next for the Senior Minister role at EBC and will keep everyone informed. In the meantime we have to trust God that he has just the right plans in mind and pray that he shows the way forward.

If you have any questions or concerns please do let me know or chat to one of the Elders.

God bless
Chris

Planning your Visit

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!

Services

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.
