Here at Wanstead Baptist Church our vision, and motto, is simple
 
             serving Wanstead, serving Jesus

We want to play an active role both in the church and the wider community and, although we’re only a small church, we believe we have an important part to play here in Wanstead. We want to be at the heart of our community, committed to engaging all people with the message of Jesus.

If you’re thinking of visiting us, please do, we'd love to meet you. We can be found easily on Google Maps, and for our full contact information please click here. Apart from our regular Sunday Services, Wednesday Bible Study and Saturday Prayer & Reflection we also host a variety of activities in our area so if you’re interested in hiring out our hall, or just curious to find out more,  do take a look at our activities page.

Christianity put simply is: a follower of Jesus, who said to his disciples

                      'I am the way, and the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father except through me.'
                                                                                                                                      John 14:6 (NIV)

Here at Wanstead Baptist Church it is part of our mission to bring knowledge of the Lord to our local area. We feel that everyone should have the opportunity to read the Bible for themselves and make their own mind up, so we have embarked on a bold project called The Bible Project where we are offering every household in London a beautifully illustrated Bible for free. Find out more by clicking the link above.

We also run Christianity Explored courses, so if you're unsure what it's all about, please ask when the next one is being run.

Then welcome!

Here in Wanstead the cherry tree and its fruit have a long history; Wanstead was well-known for its cherry orchards and are mentioned by the poet Thomas Hood, who lived in Wanstead 1832-35. The cherry was so popular there are plaques on the walls around here showing how significant a fruit it was to the people of Wanstead, including one referencing a stolen cherry pie! So what better motif to choose for Wanstead Baptist Church than the cherry blossom.
