Prayer

Prayer is simply conversation with God. It’s about spending time with Him and building a relationship by talking and listening to Him. God wants us to talk to Him about everything, and to share our concerns for ourselves and those of other people.

When we pray, we open the door for Him to come into our problems and situations and work on them. Prayer makes us partners with God. Although we cannot change people, God can minister to their hearts and reach them.

At FBC we have great faith in the importance and power of prayer. We frequently pray for each other when two or three meet together, for instance in our Life Groups, before activities or one-off events. We also have specific times during the year when we open the church for extended or 24/7 times of prayer.

We also have various designated opportunities to pray for each other.

Prayer Ministry

We see prayer ministry as an opportunity to come alongside those who need prayerful support.

Anyone in need of prayer after the Sunday morning 10.30 am service, can approach anyone in the Ministry Team or Welcome Team in the first instance. We know that whatever their needs, God sees and hears our cries to Him and He comes to help and heal.

Please be assured that every request is treated with confidentiality and sensitivity.

Early Morning Prayer

Every Wednesday morning at 7.30 am, a group of us meets over Zoom to pray for the needs of our church, our country and the world. Everyone is very welcome to join us. Please contact the church office for details of the Zoom login.

Pre-Service Prayer Sunday Mornings

You are welcome to join in prayer for the service from 10.00 am. We include time to pray for the speaker, worship leaders, tech team and the congregation. It is also an opportunity to prepare yourself spiritually, ready to hear and take in what God has to say to you that morning.

Prayer & Praise

The first Sunday of each month there is opportunity for cooperate prayer. 6:00 pm in the church building for 45 minutes. Each month will have a different focus.

FBC Prayer Email

Every day a prayer email is sent out to members of the Church, enabling them to pray on a regular basis for the families on the Church database and for people in the streets surrounding the Church building.

If you would like to receive a copy of this email that covers the entire month, please contact us.

Confidential Prayer Chain

This is a group of people within the fellowship who believe in the power of prayer and find it a privilege to pray for others. Confidentiality is respected at all times.

If you are in need of prayer (either for yourself or for someone else), please do not hesitate to contact the church office in the first instance.

Planning your Visit

New to Church?

Welcome! Whether you've just moved to the area, or have lived here all your life, we hope our website helps you to find out everything you want to know about Frimley Baptist Church.

The Church is involved in many activities, for all ages, some on a Sunday and many in the week. All these activities are explained in more detail under the "What's On" pages.

If you are wondering what would happen if you visited us on a Sunday, here's some information that we hope you will find helpful.

Where and when does the church meet?

We meet at: Frimley Baptist Church, Balmoral Drive, Frimley GU16 9AR.
On Sundays we meet at 10:30 am in the building as well as live streaming the service over YouTube. The live stream and all previous services can be viewed by clicking the "FBC Live" icon.

On the first and third Sunday of the month we also hold a half an hour, early morning communion service from 9.00 am - 9.30 am.

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm welcome particularly from our Welcome Team who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go or provide you with more information to take away.

At our main service there will be some singing (which you can join in with or not!), prayer, a Bible reading, and a talk based on a Bible passage or theme from the Bible. The words of the songs, Bible reading and visual aids during the talk are all projected onto the wall for easy viewing. A weekly produced notice sheet is also available giving details of the various events taking place during the week and news.

What happens for the children at church?

During our Sunday Morning Services (except in August), we run 'children's church' alongside the morning service to which all young people (ages 0-14) are welcome. Children stay with their parents for the start of the service and then someone will announce when the children go to their groups. You will need to go with your children to register them if it is your first time with us.

Occasionally some Sundays, we'll have an "All age service" where adults and children stay together to worship, learn and usually laugh a lot! A separate room with toys and crafts for the littluns will be available if the parents/guardians wish to do so. We just ask the parent/guardian to stay with their children throughout the "All age service".

Our Sunday morning service is LIVE streamed over YouTube and parents/guardians of children under 18 are responsible for ensuring their children are not on camera, if they do not wish them to be.

For more information about what happens in the children's work please visit the relevant age groups for you under What's On.

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes. When worshipping with us, the decision to wear a face mask or socially distance is the personal choice of the individual.

Will I have to join in?

Not at all! You are free simply to observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.

New to Frimley?

If you have recently moved into the Frimley area, we would like to extend to you a very warm welcome and wish you every blessing in your new home. Please see our WELCOME TO FRIMLEY page for details of local amenities.
