The church is described on a number of occasions in the Bible as like a body - each person within the fellowship is a member of the body (1 Cor 12) and belongs to one another. We are therefore to care for one another as members of His body. We are also told (Eph 4) that each person is given gifts to use within the church for the strengthening of others within body so that the whole body grows to maturity.
The ministry groups in the church therefore are centred on two things - providing opportunities for people to come to know the gospel so that they can become part of the body, and the nurture and teaching of those within the body so that they might grow in maturity in God.
In this area you will find links to overviews of the various ministries. Larger ministries also have their own sets of pages in other areas of the website where you will find more information.
We are privileged to have a wide range of ages in the church, including young families. We value children of all ages in the fellowship, and seek to support parents in many ways. These include:
We are sure that you will feel welcome when you come with your baby or toddler.
This is the Children's and Youth area. Here you will find links to pages about the children's and youth groups in the church. Registered users will also find links to the youth web pages that give access to more details.
The youth work is divided into three year groups:
Each age group has two activities each week - Sunday group meetings on Sunday mornings, and Mid-week youth clubs. In addition, extra social activities are provided from time to time for YouthZone and YouthZone 2.
In addition to all the activities in this area, you may also be interested in our Early Years provision, and in other activities like the bi-weekly Football, our 18-30's group and other family social events that are listed in the SBC News.
In a world where men seem to be abandoning faith and disappearing from our churches, and where so many men come under great pressures on their faith which they are so reluctant to talk about, ministry in the church that is particular to men is so vital.
In order to support and encourage the men in Street Baptist Church, and reach out to their friends, we provide a number of activities and events that are specifically designed with men in mind.
The following pages provide details of the men's ministry we are establishing in the church.
With the pressure of singleness, then for many the pressures of home and children with the isolation that this brings, the possibility of coping as a single parent, and the joys and responsibilities of being grand-parents, many women face difficulties that are unique to women and need a particular ministry.
In order to support and encourage women in Street Baptist Church, and enable them to be built up in Christ and use every opportunity to reach out to their friends, we provide a number of activities and events that are specifically designed with women in mind.
The following pages provide details of the women's ministries we are establishing in the church.
