Mission

As a church fellowship we recognise that we are part of the worldwide church, and we are all blessed as we share together in the insights and witness of Believers across the whole world. Historically we may have thought of Overseas Missions as a one-way journey, but we recognise that we share the responsibility to the command of Jesus to make disciples both here and abroad. All of us can be encouraged by Christians of other cultures, and there are ways in which we can help each other in the proclamation of the good news of Jesus. We believe that some knowledge and experience of what God is doing in the UK, and beyond, is a vital part of our discipleship, and involves welcoming people from abroad, praying for missionaries and mission agencies, learning about mission, mobilising, sending people (including giving), and going ourselves (short or long-term).

World Mission Team

The Worldwide Mission Team seeks to stimulate and maintain an interest within the fellowship for worldwide mission in a variety of ways. We:

Share up-to-date information here and in the weekly Notice sheet,
Distribute special topical leaflets,
Make people aware of other ministries around the world (including in particular the Baptist Missionary Society (BMS) and Home Missions Fund's Church of the Year.
Promote particular causes for our harvest and Christmas appeals.
Hold Prayer Breakfasts
Organise occasional one-off Mission events.

The Worldwide Mission Team is also responsible for the allocation and distribution of 20% of the Church's income for on-going support of mission organisations, to support individuals working in full-time mission work and others in training, or on short-term projects.

As a church we support a number of world-wide and more local initiatives:

Baptist Mission Society (BMS) is a Christian mission organisation that aims to introduce people to Jesus in parts of the world where there are high levels of poverty and injustice, and the fewest Christians.

BMS World Mission motivates, trains, sends out, and resources mission workers (both local and expatriate), supporting them as they love the people they serve, and as they seek to share the gospel and alleviate suffering and injustice.

Baptist Union of Great Britain - Home Mission

Home Mission supports, equips and empowers Baptist churches to reach their mission potential and share God's love in their communities.

Money raised is used on a national and regional level to advise and help churches, including legal, ministerial and missional support, and nationally in engagement with government and with other churches. On a more local level, grants are made available to churches for church planting and mission projects. (In its early days, FBC was itself a recipient of such help).

Camberley Youth for Christ

For over 25 years Camberley Youth for Christ (CYFC) has sought to bring the Good News about Jesus Christ to the young people in and around Camberley in a relevant and meaningful way. They do this by working in local secondary schools, and by partnering with local churches and Surrey Heath Borough Council. All the youth provision is run by the hard work and dedication of employed staff and volunteers. Click here for more details on the work of CYFC.

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.
