Stoneleigh Baptist Church

sowing seeds of hope in the community

Welcome

church

We are a group of local Christians in Stoneleigh, Epsom, Surrey, seeking to share the positive difference that Jesus makes to our lives, and to discover, together, more of the forgiveness, peace, love security and hope that He promises to His followers.

We're learning together how to trust Jesus in putting this into effect in our everyday lives, as we journey together.

We’d like to welcome you amongst us, and encourage you to walk with us for a while: we'd value your company and friendship.

Most Stoneleigh Baptist Church activities and ministries including home-groups, Alpha, etc. where people would normally gather remain suspended in their previous form, but alternatives are happening "on-line" where possible and will now gradually be reviewed.

Meanwhile, we are producing CONNECT to members and friends every week as a means of encouragement and sharing of news.

If you are willing to be contacted and asked to help with shopping etc. for others who have been required to self-isolate, please let the office know.

If you leave a message on the church answerphone it will be picked up and we will get back to you as needed.
