| The Colchester Baptist Church is located in Eld Lane. The church has been established in Colchester for 316 years. Baptists first met in an unknown premises in East Street but has occupied the same site in Eld Lane since the land was purchased in 1711. At that time it is thought a house occupied the site where the members met until firstly the house was enlarged and subsequently the present church building was constructed and the house demolished.
Open Door’ is a centre for those wanting someone to listen to their worries whether seemingly trivial or very concerning. This is open Mon, Tues, Wed and Fri from 10-2. Coffee and biscuits are available.
Other weekday activities include Girls Brigade, Cubs, Youth Club, Badminton, Bowls, Study Groups, Prayer Nights, Worship Service, Book Club, Craft Group and Carer and Toddler Groups.
Sunday services are held at 10.30 am and 6.30 pm with Communion on the first Sunday morning and the thirs Sunday evening of each month. Worship songs include both traditional and modern, with accompaniment by the organ and piano, and also our music group which consists of keyboard, guitar, flutes, and drums.
Links are maintained with students from Essex University which adds a different dimension to our congregation.
