Activities
Here you’ll find the activities that go on at Radcliffe Road Baptist Church throughout the month. Come and join us – we’d love to see you.
Care of Children and vulnerable adults
Here at the church, we take the care and protection of children and vulnerable adults seriously. We aim to provide activities which are warm and welcoming and which are delivered within the guidance and procedures of the church’s Safeguarding policy (available on request). Only church members can lead groups and both leaders and helpers of groups for children and vulnerable adults are subject to DBS checks.
Sunday church
- Morning – 10:30am
- Evening – 5:30pm
Morning church is at 10.30am each Sunday.
Evening church is at 5.30pm and follows a similar pattern, but leads into a time of prayer in small groups.
Both services last for between an hour and an hour and a quarter.
A crèche room is available from the beginning of morning church. There is a children’s talk before the main Bible teaching. For school years Reception to Year 5 there are separate Sunday School classes during the main Bible teaching. Secondary age young people go out of the service to read the passage together and be given questions. Our “meeters and greeters” will help you with any questions you may have.
We love to give everyone a warm welcome at Radcliffe Road Baptist Church. We are a diverse group of people of all ages, from many different backgrounds, and with several nationalities attending and serving in the church. Translation into other languages is available using the Breeze translate QR code on the wall.
We worship God through singing together, through prayer, and through listening to God speak to us through his word, the Bible.
We know that as a church we are not just a collection of individuals. God has brought us together and we enjoy each other’s company. Most people stay around after the services to chat and to get to know each other better and encourage one another. We’d enjoy spending time with you too!
Our ministers are committed to explaining the Bible in a way which is truthful, connects with life in the 21st century and can be understood by all.
A hearing loop is installed. Bibles are available for all. We can also offer help for those whose native language is not English.
Friday Club
Friday Club is a free, weekly club for primary school children in the area.
Established 40 years ago, Friday club still provides a fun and safe environment where children can enjoy playing games, making crafts and learning true stories from the Bible. We celebrate each child’s birthday and children win awards for regular attendance.
There are also events for parents during the year, including a Christmas meal and prize giving evenings.
Opening Times
Friday evenings 6-7.15pm during term-time.
Holiday Club
We also run a children’s club during the Easter holiday. Look out for a banner on the church gates.
Bring & Share Lunches
We have a bring and share lunch every third Sunday of the month. It doesn’t matter if you forget to bring or you are a visitor — all are welcome to share lunch and enjoy the fellowship of the church.
Home Groups
We have a number of home groups that meet each week.
What do they do?
Together we study the Bible, pray and talk together. People are completely free to contribute as much or little as they want.
We have other occasional activities too e.g. meals out, barbecue etc.
When do they meet?
There are currently 4-5 groups meeting on different days of the week in the evening or during the daytime.
Exploring the Christian faith
If you are not yet a Christian believer, or are not sure, there are opportunities to explore the Christian faith.
Lots of people come along to our activities, and attend services to see what it’s like. Often, people find it helpful to have someone they know who they can ask questions.
We also hold occasional courses for newcomers called “Four Big Questions” (Click here)

Ladybird Toddlers
Ladybird Toddlers is a parent/carer Toddler group run by members of Radcliffe Road Baptist Church. Our aim is to provide a welcoming place for mums to meet, to overcome the isolation of being at home in the week & to provide a safe place for children to play, with a wide variety of toys under their adults supervision. Currently we have no waiting list and we welcome new adults and their children to come for a visit. Regrettably we are not in a position to accept childminders.
Opening Times
Thursday 10:00-12:00
18-39 group
A group of young adults meets up regularly for fellowship, teaching, prayer and singing.

Grace Cafe
Grace Cafe is a chance for local people to enjoy company at the church.
We aim to bring people together so that we might get to know one another better, build some good friendships and so that people in the area might get to know more of the Christian message.
We meet every Wednesday 10.30am – 12 noon during school term time. The morning usually includes a Christian-themed talk over coffee (or tea / cold drink) and biscuits/cake. There is always plenty of time to chat and get to know one another.
Over the years, many people have found that this is a great opportunity to make and grow friendships, both inside and outside the church.
If you are local to the church, a member of the church, or looking for a friendly place to come on a Wednesday, please join us, we would love to see you. Everyone is welcome, with no age-limit at all.
CAT Group
CAT (Christian Activities Together) is a friendly, established and welcoming group that meets at the church. The leaders of the group encourage faith, confidence building, independence and friendship. Activities include song, drama, life building skills and workshops in a safe Christian environment. Often the group meets at the church but there are also regular and popular activities in the community.
The aim of CAT is to enrich the lives of young men and women with mild to moderate learning difficulties.
Women’s Bible Study
We are a group of women who for some time have enjoyed meeting together to study the Bible and pray.
It has been our practice to leisurely make our way through Bible books, savouring God’s word along the way.
The group is thankful for Liz’s diligence in preparing the studies, and helpfulness in leading them.
If you’re free and able to attend, you’ll be very welcome! Use the contact form to express your interest.
