Waldringfield Baptist Church

The Church

Waldringfield Baptist Church has stood on the Newbourne Road in Waldringfield for almost 200 years!   Set a stone’s throw from the beautiful river Deben,  the main building has had significant extension and upgrades in the past 20 years, and is now a modern and comfortable place for worship and praise to God.  We regularly have congregations over 100 on a Sunday morning and these are people from all walks of life, with various backgrounds.

We also have a youth hall which is situated on the grounds, where the children’s work, prayer meetings, Christianity Explored courses, Friends & Neighbours Lunch, plus other youth and community events are regularly held and enjoyed.

The building today…

History

No sign of a car back then, just the open road and some unsuspecting bystanders…

The entrance had a different look in the 1920’s…as did the congregation.

A lunch, presumably the man carrying the jug on the left had to serve the whole church water as he forgot to bring his hat.
