About Us
West Howe Baptist Church began in 1954 when a Sunday school was established, meeting in what is now Oakmead School with over 300 children attending. The current church hall was built while the estate was being developed and was opened on October 13th 1956.
We are a church family with people from all sorts of backgrounds who together seek to worship God in a lively and informal manner in which we hope anyone of any age can feel at home. Our desire is to honour God in our worship, learn together through studying his word, strengthen ourselves in communion, care for one another and share the good news of His love with those about us. Our aim is to "grow upwards and to reach outwards in the love of Christ".
We are members of the Baptist Union of Great Britain and the Evangelical Alliance. We occasionally run Alpha courses.
