Bethel Baptist Church

Renovation work on the chapel building is going well. The old render has been removed from the front and side of the building and new render is beginning to be applied. Inside, the pews have all gone apart from the “big seat” (contact us if you are interested in taking it!). The pulpit and baptistery have also now been removed and work is underway to finish off the wall and floor.

You can view all the latest photos on the Phase 1 page.

The notice sheet for August is now available. You can download it as a PDF file to view or print on your own computer.

For more information of what’s going on in the church, take a look at our calendar page.

We have been working our way through a series on the issues relating to death and what happens after entitled “Where do we go from here?” (credit to Stuart Olyott and John Blanchard for that title!).

We were looking at what the bible says about hell on Sunday evening past and there are a number of very helpful articles online. We felt it would be good to have the links in one place so that you might read and study this important bible teaching in more depth.
