What We Believe

CBC prides itself on its friendliness and hospitality. It is a church community with long-established relationships, providing an invaluable network of support, particularly in times of crisis.

The church's motto, 'Friendship, Family and Faith,' captures the church's relational nature. The church's deep faith in God finds rich expression in worship and action. Like many churches, CBC was impacted by the pandemic, but following a year-long partnership in 2022 with the K180 evangelistic agency, attendance at Sunday services has increased, along with baptisms. 

The church is experiencing new growth, with the vision and energy to lead it into the next stage of its life. With a changing local demographic, the church needs to connect missionally with the community to secure its long-term future. CBC have a heart for local mission, particularly in a diverse urban context. 

There are plans to redevelop the site. We are planning a new building that will not only serve the members of CBC but also be a place for our community to belong. 

Welcome to Clapham Baptist Church, an evangelical community of believers seeking to follow Jesus Christ. Our emphasis is on helping people to find faith, friendships and family. We all want to find a place where we belong. 
 
You will find us to be a friendly church, welcoming all people regardless of race, ethnic background, or age, and you will find our worship services lively. Hospitality is one of our strengths.
 
Like many churches, we are rebuilding after the pandemic. We are aware that people's lives have been turned upside down, so we are reaching out to the local community.
 
We believe that God is calling us to be a "Door of Hope" for our local community, where people can find a safe place to belong.
 
Together we witness, share our joys and sorrows, join in worship and serve another in love.
 
Clapham Baptist Church is located at the corner of Victoria Rise and Wandsworth Road in the heart of Clapham town. All are welcome.
