Welcome!

At Faringdon Baptist Church we are united by our love of Jesus Christ and our wish to share the Gospel, and to serve one another and the wider community.

Each summer we have a change from our normal pattern of Sunday meetings. We have lots of food, and services which can be enjoyed by people of all ages. See below for this year's activities:

2026 FBC Summer Services

If you have never been to a service at church, and don't really know what to expect:

Typically, the service will involve some songs and prayers, which you are free to join in with if you wish, one or two readings from the Bible, read from the front, and some thoughts shared about a spiritual or practical aspect of our lives (this might be one person speaking, or a topic for discussion). Sometimes we have crafty things to do. This will last between an hour and an hour and twenty minutes. Afterwards we then have coffee/tea/squash and biscuits together, to chat with old friends and to get to know new ones. All told, unless we are having lunch together, we start at 10.30, and the refreshments are usually over by 12.30.

For us church is the people, not the place or the service, and there are lots of other opportunities to meet with those people during the week. Here are some of them:

	YOUTH CLUB: MONTHLY, FIRST FRIDAY 7 PM Youth Club is a monthly Youth Night on the first Friday of every month from 7-9pm here at Faringdon Baptist Church Hall, open to all young people in Secondary School! It is a night of activities, games, socialising, and a reflection. We always have plenty of snacks, pop, and juice to have during the evening and often have pizza or something warm! Come along to hang out, make friends, and relax someplace new!!
	GROWTH GROUPS: FOR FRIENDSHIP AND BIBLE STUDY You are warmly invited to participate in an FBC Growth Group, which take place in people’s homes within the local area and online. You will have the opportunity to study the Bible, learn more about following Jesus, for prayer, and to further develop your friendship with folk from the church family. Tea, coffee, cake and biscuits also feature highly! The groups meet weekly or fortnightly on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, in Faringdon & Shrivenham. If you are interested in taking part in a group, please call Mark Greenwood on 07393574141
	CARE & SHARE: WEDNESDAY MORNINGS 9.30-11.30 AM Come join us for coffee cake and chat Where – at Faringdon Baptist Chapel, Bromsgrove What – We extend a warm welcome to adults (and children who are not yet at school) to join us to chat and share a hot cuppa and homemade cakes. We also offer prayer. When – Wednesday mornings during school term time between 9.30-11.30am
	MESSY DADS: MONTHLY, FIRST SATURDAY 10 AM Messy Dads is a family support for parents and primary aged children on the first Saturday of every month, and held at Bromsgrove Chapel for two hours from 10am - a community event for primary school children and any carers – Dads, Mums, Grandparents, Carers. We provide coffee/tea and bacon sandwiches for the parents and squash and chocolate brioche for the children. Two bouncy castles and ball pits keep the children amused whilst we also provide the day's newspapers and some magazines for the adults. The aim is to build relationships in the community, both between the helpers and some of the regular parents and more importantly between the parents and children, who may often attend the same schools or work/live nearby. We regularly have about 20 families every Saturday, occasionally more.
