I am new

Hello, I am Jim Ford, the church minister.

At the heart of all we do here at Thaxted Baptist Church is a desire to share the love of Jesus with all people. In the church itself, we see creating a loving community where everyone feels welcomed and valued as a key focus. Indeed, visitors to the church have commented on how welcome they are made to feel. We also seek to serve the community outside of the church via a number of ministries:

• “Coffee and Company” bringing together those who are bereaved
• Coffee morning for all the community
• Working with the local primary school by doing assemblies and providing craft mornings
• Visiting local businesses to check up on their welfare
• Providing church services to “Humfrey Lodge” care home and “Craftabilty”
• Providing a breakfast for men.

In all this, we seek to live out our mission statement: “Follow Jesus, love people, serve our community.”
