Bildeston Baptist Church Trustees Report 2023 Charity Registration No. 1154041

Address: Duke Street, Bildeston, Suffolk, IP7 7EW

Trustees: Peter Hall, Phil Beales, and Liz Tolland

Our constitution broadly states that the purpose of the church is:

To advance the Christian Faith in any way possible.
To benefit the inhabitants of Bildeston & the surrounding area, without judgement by connecting with local organisations and inhabitants in an effort to improve the conditions of life for the said beneficiaries.

We are a small but enthusiastic and caring congregation and we continue with no pastor but a leadership team of 6 and much reliance of Father God’s leading. We have connections with the Anglican Church in Bildeston and jointly led the Remembrance service at the war memorial in the village and participated in their Carol Service.

We hold weekly, Sunday morning services followed by tea or coffee and biscuits, sometimes a shared meal. This is a good time for socialising and an opportunity to pray for one another. It is also a very valuable time for combatting loneliness, as many people live on their own.

We have several regular visiting speakers who come to preach, otherwise the services are led by one of the team.

Motley Crew, a weekly evening group, continue to meet for Bible study, lively discussion and meeting with Father God. We meet in the home of one of the church members and everyone is welcome.

Once a month a lunch club is held and much enjoyed by many people in the village and surrounding area. It is well attended and appreciated. One lady commented, “I don’t really mind what meal is served, it’s a chance to meet with other people and have someone to talk to.” In addition, an Afternoon Tea is also held during August.

The community café continues each Friday morning and is extremely popular with parents attending plus their young children and using the main church for toys one side and tables the other so parents can keep an eye on their offspring while they have refreshments which are priced low so people can afford a second cup of tea or coffee. Older people sit in the church hall so they can chat in peace. This year we fitted sound proofing panels to the ceiling to decrease echo so the hard of hearing can enjoy their conversations. We continue to have new people come and they soon become regulars.

Strollers and Striders walking group continues weekly with a popular stop for coffee either half way round or at the end of the walk. Good exercise and opportunity to enjoy chats and laughter! People who no longer are able to manage the walk often drive to meet up at the coffee stop so they don’t lose touch with each other.

The Parish council continue to use the hall for their meetings in winter and the village foodbank continues to use the building for storage of donations and freezing surplus food that would otherwise spoil. About 40 people are being supported by the food bank.

One of our members who set up and runs the charity European Partnership In Christ (EPIC), made two trips to Eastern Europe during the year with assistance for churches there, especially with aid for refugees of the Russian war with Ukraine. Many people who enjoy lunch club and the community café give support towards these trips.

A small church congregation but lots happening. Some new people or visitors to our church say they feel loved and, with God’s help, we will continue to show people that God loves them and wants to be a part of their lives.
