We are one of the Christian communities who worship God in Dronfield. We can trace our history in the town back to 1848 when a small group began to meet in a private house.

Baptists emerged as a distinct community at the time of the Reformation around 1520 in central Europe. They are now one of the largest groupings of Christian churches in the world and through our members we have links with churches in all parts of the world.

If you live or work in the town, you will probably have noticed the chapel opposite Sainsbury’s - that has been our home since 1872, when it was much more on the edge of the town than it is now. It’s a bit like the Tardis - behind the small chapel is a suite of rooms which provide space for a wide range of groups that meet during the week. You can find out more about what happens by going to the links at the side of this page.

What unites us is a belief that there is a God, that he made our world and that the key to life is to put him at the centre of everything.

In common with all Christians, we are fascinated and captivated  by Jesus, believing that in his life, his death and  his resurrection from the dead, God dealt decisively with all the dark forces in this world and created the possibility that we can look forward with hope and joy.

We are sustained by the assurance that it is possible to enter into a personal relationship with God in the here and now, a relationship that is enriched by reading the Bible and through prayer, where we can share with our Heavenly Father both our deepest concerns and our everyday worries.

We are like pilgrims - each one of us is on a journey of discovery, trying to make sense of what life is about, learning more about God’s love for us and how he wants us to be.
