Kidlington Baptist Church is a vibrant Christian community made up of people from all ages and stages of life, representing different cultures and backgrounds, but with one essential thing in common - the person of Jesus. He is central to all that we believe and do. He made a way for us back to our Father, meets our deepest needs, and calls us into life in all its fullness through his Spirit. We long for others in our community to experience this too, and are seeking to be increasingly intentional in sharing our faith on our frontlines and through our collective efforts.
There are currently about 120 committed members at Kidlington Baptist Church, but our reach and fringe is significantly larger. As a whole church family we get together on Sunday mornings at 10.30am for our main worship gathering. This is in person but also live streamed via our YouTube channel. During the week Connect Groups gather in person or online to facilitate our growth as disciples.
Kidlington itself is still in denial about the fact that it is now officially a town and not a village(!) and is forecasted to grow further in the coming decade. With the academic power-house of leafy Oxford on the one hand, and picturesque Cotswold-ish villages on the other, Kidlington is a mix of mobile aspirational and established communities. We’re blessed to have a welcoming building a stone’s throw or two from the town centre which is open most days. Each week we run a wellbeing cafe called the Dovecote on Thursday mornings and Sunday afternoons, host the local Foodbank on Fridays and welcome many community groups to use our facilities. We’re also an eco church and actively support mission partners in the local area and overseas.
KBC belongs to the Baptist Union of Great Britain as well as to the Evangelical Alliance. Locally we partner with our Baptist cluster, and work with our friends from Churches Together in Kidlington (CTK). For more info about us and what we do, continue exploring our website.
