Trust in the Lord

I have a small wall plaque at home that says “Trust in the lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.” (Proverbs 3: 5-6), and another in the church office which says “But seek ye first the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you.” (Matthew 6: 33).

As individuals and as church, we need God’s direction and help. Very often, there are specific things that we need direction for and help with – specific things we ask God for.

At EBC we are asking for God’s help all the time – for His wisdom and provision as we seek to do more for people in need both locally via our own ministries and around the world through our links with Sierra Leone and via our partners at Christian Solidarity Worldwide and Tearfund, among others.
Also, in the last couple of years and ongoing, we’ve cried out to God for help in re-constructing our staff team and associated ministries, and in seeking direction over training and recruitment. Most recently we have been searching for a Ministry Director to help with the overall leadership of the church and to provide a strong lead with our children, youth and families work.

In our individual lives, and as church, there are lots of things we ask God for, and lots of direction we need from him. It’s good to ask God about specifics of course, but let’s not lose sight of the need to seek and acknowledge God first, to abide with Him, follow Him, to trust Him and submit to him always, in all things. “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God…. and all these things will be added unto you.”

On Thursday evening at our church meeting, we will be updating the church on our plans for the seasons ahead – and there will be some exciting news to share! We’ll also be seeking and praising God together for His provision, His direction and His love.

See you there!

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.
