Plan Your Visit
We are so glad you are considering a visit to Hornchurch Baptist Church. Whether you have been to church for years, you are returning after some time away, or you are exploring faith for the first time, you are warmly welcome.
We know that visiting a church for the first time can feel like a big step, so our aim is to make it as easy as possible for you to feel comfortable.

Our Sunday gathering includes worship, prayer, and Bible teaching, and we make space to connect with one another before and after the service. We are a friendly church, and we are glad to welcome people of all ages and backgrounds.
When you arrive, someone from the welcome team can help you find your way, show you where to sit, and point you towards children and youth groups if you have a family.
After the service there is usually time to chat, meet new people, and enjoy refreshments. If you are visiting for the first time, please introduce yourself — we would genuinely love to meet you.
