About us

Our story and our faith

A Baptist church that has gathered on Mill Street for generations, still learning what it means to love God and love our neighbours.

A welcoming house

We believe church is less a building and more a household. Our doors open early each morning so anyone can find quiet, prayer, or simply a friendly face. On Sundays we gather to sing, to listen to the Bible read and explained, and to share bread and conversation.

As a Baptist church we practise believers' baptism, govern ourselves as a church family, and hold to the freedom of every person to respond to God for themselves.

About us

Four simple convictions

Grace for everyone

God's welcome is not earned. It is offered freely in Jesus Christ to every person, without exception.

Scripture together

We read the Bible openly and honestly, letting it shape how we live rather than only what we say.

Prayer as a habit

Prayer is the ordinary rhythm of our life together — in services, in homes, and in the quiet of a weekday morning.

Service in the town

Faith works itself out in practical care for Bideford: food, friendship, and standing with those who struggle.
