Happy Days


Last weekend was a weekend of celebration in our church family at EBC. On Saturday, large numbers of us celebrated with two (very) long standing members of our church family, as Jean and Frank Roe celebrated an incredible 70 years of marriage! On Sunday, we gave a warm welcome to four new members of EBC as we celebrated communion together and prayed over Anna & Edwin, Nigel and Val as they took this next step of commitment to our church family. What a wonderful weekend it was!

This Sunday there’s more to look forward to as we celebrate three baptisms at EBC. Baptism is a wonderful public declaration and demonstration of faith in Jesus and for those being baptised it’s a very special day indeed!

Please come and join us at 10.15am and 4.00pm for our morning and afternoon services and witness these profound moments in the lives of three members of our church family – Ade, Kim and John.

It may be that you have never witnessed a “believer’s baptism” (as we call it), or perhaps you have wondered what makes a Baptist church a Baptist church. Or just maybe you’ve been wondering about making this next step yourself in your walk with God – thinking about “taking the plunge” so to speak! If that’s so, this is a great opportunity not only to find out more but actually to experience being an eyewitness to these very moving and significant events, which are in a way akin to a wedding – the love is already there, now for the vows of fidelity, the prayers and blessings - and the joyful celebration! 

We will also be continuing our series of teaching on the theme “Who Cares?” In the morning, we are looking at issues and attitudes around poverty, while in the afternoon we consider disability. 

I hope you will come and join us on Sunday for what promises to be a busy, exciting and challenging day. It’s sure to be a happy one too!

See you at church!

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.
