Great Gidding Baptist Church
Our Purpose – Love God Love People Serve the World
The Baptist Church is in fellowship with Grace Fellowship Little Stukeley; Grace Fellowship is part of the International Baptist Convention (I B C) and affiliated to Baptist Union of Great Britain
My Wife and I first came to Great Gidding some 30 years ago as a guest speaker for the day returning from time to time to worship or preach, then we moved to Great Stukely. That’s when Pastor Albert asked me to take care of the Church while he was away in Uganda. During this time we have seen many changes to the Church. When Albert was so ill Penny and I were regular visitors both to the hospital and the home, on their Return to Bristol they asked us to take on the church.
Work to do
There has been much work to do as we redecorate the manse and clear up the rubbish that has been gathered over the years and we are still working at getting the grounds and sheds dealt with, it will take time to do all we have in mind.
The first service we will take is to be held on Easter Sunday At 3pm.
We welcome you all to come and join us for the service and share a cup of tea or coffee after the service.
Further details of regular meetings will be announced soon.
I attended worship services at the Manse in the late 1950s early 1960s. Miss Tapps and Miss Davidson were the missionaries who lived in the house in front of the Manse. I remember walking down the path to the Manse past the little pond. We lived in the village of Thurning at Hill Farm. We had Sunshine Corner on Monday afternoons with the missionaries. The teachings, love, and fellowship of the missionaries at the Manse led my father to the Lord.
