ALL ABOUT US
 
Burton Latimer Baptist Church is a small but growing community within the town of Burton Latimer. First established in 1774 we have for many years had the wider community at the heart of what we do. 

Our main worship is on a Sunday morning at 10.45 and we have a variety of styles including monthly All-Age services. We have a music group and enjoy a variety of music styles.

Our ages range from 5 to 90+ and we have people from all walks of life, cultures and experiences. All are welcomed into our open and inclusive community.

We are seeking to grow. Spiritually, and numerically working to live our faith in whole-life discipleship through our homes, work, leisure as well as mission and social action.

We recognise that church is not just for Sundays and that God can be met at any time. 

We are outwardly looking with strong partnerships with Burton Latimer Community Hub and Library, The Pantry, local Foodbanks and other churches within the town and further afield. We work within local schools and seek to engage with community activities wherever possible. 

We have weekly and fortnightly family stay and play sessions and a monthly community meal (Foodie Friday) which provides a homecooked meal for anyone to come to. 

We support the Burton Latimer Youth Club as part of the leadership and venue.

We have many community groups which access our premises including a brass band, table tennis, Pilates and art groups. 

We have many children, young people and families that come to us through a variety of activities and events. These include regular sessions and work in the school holidays including bus trips and play and craft sessions. We offer Messy Church style events for different seasons. These are popular and well attended.

We actively welcome all and see ourselves as a family where all belong.
