Welcome To Our Church

Our service times and all other meetings and events can be found in the "What's On" section of this site.
Church on the Rise is a Baptist Church and we welcome you! Our aim is to worship God and to serve the community in which we live. Our mission is to show the love of God to all who we meet and to tell them of the life changing power of Jesus Christ. Whether you want to know more about being a Christian or are already committed, we invite you to join with us.
For us, the "church" is a group of people trying to live for Jesus Christ, to experience and show to others His love and care, witnessing to the difference that a living faith in God can make to a person's life. We are ordinary people, from all walks of life, who have the same joys and sorrows, cares and concerns that are common to us all. Yet, we believe that God's presence in our lives gives us strength to face these difficulties. The teaching of the Bible and the love and support of this fellowship are all a source of hope and courage through good times and bad.
Our Church has now become a CAP Centre - Christians Against Poverty Debt Counselling Centre - see the link on the front page for more information and if you want to book an appointment for debt help and advice then please ring the central number 0800 328 0006.
