We now have a wonderful new church building which includes a worship area for up to 150 people along with a welcoming lounge area. The next step is to refurbish the old church building so that it will have a worthwhile kitchen and the main hall can be flexibly divided into a number of rooms and still reconfigurable as a hall. We have some of the funds for this, but are now starting to pray, give and look for help for the remainder of the finances for this, so that we can complete the 'building the building' part of what God has called us to.
We are pleased you've found the South Oxhey Baptist Church website, we hope that you find it helpful, informative, easy to get around, and that you will be encouraged to find out more about South Oxhey Baptist Church (SOBC).
Whether you've just moved into the area, or going to church would be a new thing for you, whether you are a Christian looking for a place to get started again or to grow and serve ... we would love to welcome you to a Sunday service or one of our other events (please see our calendar for details). You can also contact Steve Hobbis, the minister by phone or email.
We are planning to run this very helpful course for Christians on Monday evenings in the New Year. For many people this has been one of the best courses they have ever taken part in. It really can be life changing whether you are new to church or have been a Christian for years. For more information about ‘Freedom in Christ’ ministries and the course see the website www.ficm.org.uk and www.ficm.org.uk/the_fic_course . Some of the information given is for churches running the course, but it should give you an idea of the approach, the effect on people and what to expect on the course. In our course we use the DVDs produced by the Freedom in Christ organisation with Steve Goss as the speaker, there is opportunity to discuss issues raised by the talks each evening and an away-day later in the course to spend time with God working through issues that arise. Last year over 50 people attended the course at SOBC – with many joining us from other churches.
This toddler group is not running for the next few weeks except on December 14th for a Christmas special. If you would like to come along to this please contact Steve on 0208 421 4054. The group may re-start in the new year on a regular basis.
We are made up of young and old, including children and young people of almost every age. We have people who've lived in the area since South Oxhey was built and lots of more recent arrivals; families and single people; people who've been Christians for years, some who have more recently become Christians and others who are exploring what it's all about. We could say more about different occupations, variety of nationalities, life experiences and so on... a variety of different people growing to know a wonderful God who loves each one.
