No matter how you found your way to our site, we’re glad you’re here. We are really pleased to have this opportunity to let you know a little bit more about us.
You will find out some basics here about what this church is about, and some details on what to expect. For those who want a potted history of the church, we also provide that here.
If you are new in the area or just visiting, we invite you to come to join us on a Sunday or Tuesday. You will find a very warm welcome, a packed building and lots going on. Above all, you will find people who long to worship God, to meet with Him, to encourage one another and to tell others about Him. The best way for you to get to know us is simply to worship and fellowship with us.
We hope that this should be a one-stop location where you can get quick answers to common questions that are asked about Street Baptist Church by those who are visitors:
At the beginning of the 19th century Street was a thriving village of 150 cottages and 800 residents (the population increased by 50% between 1801 and 1851). [more history of Street]
It was at the crossroads of several stage coach routes, including the London to Exeter route which stopped at the Street Inn, approximately 300 yards from the Baptist Church. Many small businesses grew around this trade including 3 boot makers, a tannery, glove making and high quality tailoring.
