Welcome to the Swanwick Baptist Church website.

Baptist Christians have been meeting in our present location since the mid 1790s and as the village changes and grows around us it's our desire to keep sharing the life and message of Jesus Christ with our neighbours and friends and to serve the community in the best ways we can.

We  normally gather each Sunday at 10.45am for worship. Visitors and new attendees are always welcome.

The Chapel is situated in its own grounds on the right hand side of Derby Road as you head north, just before you pass the garage on the opposite side of the road. (Postcode DE55 1BG). Parking is available in the free carpark opposite the Methodist Church, or on the main road.

If you'd like more information or want to be in touch for any other reason, feel free to contact us via the website or our Facebook page. Alternatively, email our Moderator, Brian Nicholls at bnichwm@aol.com.

(By the way, our premises  - hall and kitchen and main chapel space - are available for hire at modest rates).

Sunday, 10th November at 10.45am - we are joining with the village in the annual Service of Remembrance, assembling in the top carpark of Swanwick Hall School. (entrance just to the South of St Andrews Church). Chairs will be available for those who cannot stand for a long time. There won't be a service in our building.

Seen the scaffolding around the chapel? No, we're not demolishing it, just replacing our worn-out roof. In spite of the temporary covering on the roof it's business as usual. While the work is progressing we'll be using the hall to the rear of the church as our main meeting space.

P.S. We are looking for a volunteer pianist to join the rota to help us with our Sunday worship. We use traditional hymns and contemporary worship songs, with Mission Praise as our default songbook. Please get in touch if you think you could help
