Stories

The Baptist movement is a grassroots movement. As an association of congregational churches, we are at our strongest when working out our mission and ministry in the local church. For us, it's not about 'top down' ideas but 'bottom up'.

This section of the website will feature regular stories of how churches and people across London are involved in transformational work.

If you'd like to tell your story to others, please get in touch!
