Welcome to cbc
It is a real pleasure to welcome you to Cranham Baptist Church. We are a friendly group of people who are all at different points in our journey of discovering God’s extraordinary love.
We endeavour to live out our faith in Jesus as a family through loving and supporting one another. It is our vision to build relationships with others in our community and enable them to discover God’s love for themselves.
morning Services: sundays
Our services begin at 10:30 am each week. We have a Fairtrade cafe following services. The first Sunday of each month is a family friendly service for all ages. Our youth programme runs on all other Sundays, excluding the Summer and Christmas holidays, for all children from school year 1 upwards.
On Sunday 9th February, we will have a visit from the charity "Stand by Me".

Prayer Meetings: tuesdays
We meet every week on Tuesdays from 10:00 am to 11:00 am in the Church lounge for prayer and discussions. All members of the congregation are welcome to attend.
afternoon fellowship: wednesdays
Before CBC was built, young mothers and their children met in a house informally. Over time, these became a "fellowship" of women that shared their belief and faith in the Baptist Church, with emphasis on baptism by immersion. The structure was likened to a later Sunday service at CBC that involved singing, praying, and listening to a speaker. The subject has been kept biblical and spiritual, and the collected money given to good causes. Over the years, we have been able to support missions, charities and friends from outside the fellowship with prayers and other means. We are now open to everyone, and offer friendship with Christian love. We meet on Wednesday afternoons in the Church lounge from 2:00 to 4:00.
Please refer to the church calendar for more information.
Connect Group: thursdays
Connect groups meet each week to read the Bible, reflect and pray as we discover more together. They are a place of support, encouragement and fun. Currently, there is one connect group that meets on Thursday mornings at CBC from 10:00 to 12:00. Please refer to the church calendar for more information.
