“We have a common belief and love for God we would love to share with others”

Harefield Baptist Church, Middlesex by minister Val Pyper

Harefield Baptist Church is a friendly and welcoming fellowship, with a heart for Jesus Christ. We are based in Harefield, Middlesex, England. The church runs a number of regular events aimed at involving the local community and supporting worthwhile causes. Our aim is to be an ‘active’ church bringing the love of God into everyday life. Examples of this is include a bereavement support group which brings folk together to share and support each other through grief (Ecclesiastes 3:4). Our Chatterbox a group for under 5s is a safe place for children to play and for the adults to get support. The community hotspot is where folk from the village come and share hot soup and bread and have space to play board games and someone to talk to.

Crafty time is a group which meets to encourage others to learn new skills and support each other we have donation box which is then given to a charity chosen by the group. All the events we hold are free to the community. The wonderful thing about Harefield Baptist Church is it is made up of individuals who either have a belief in Jesus Christ or are willing to have an open mind to find out who He is. We exist to worship God and to enable those who don’t have that relationship to find Him also. We’re not around just for ourselves; we are here to help those outside the church to realise what they’re missing out on. We want people to experience for themselves the transforming love of God who can answer all our questions.

Laughter is often heard in our services and there is continued effort to provide something that all ages can find fun yet appropriate. We believe in acceptance and respect for everyone, acknowledging that God has a plan for each one of us. Our goal is to bring everyone we encounter into a true understanding of God so that people can encounter Jesus on a personal level. You will find people from all walks of life at Harefield Baptist, and we are committed to making sure others are welcomed and accepted into our extended family.

We are very different people, but we have a common belief and love for God that we would love to share with others.
