Welcome
A very warm welcome to Winchester Baptist Church and its website! My name is Ewen Huffman and I have been the pastor here since 1998.
We are a lively, diverse, friendly Bible and Spirit based church of all ages with a love for the Lord, this city and the lost. We do much with other churches and have a real heart for God doing something unique in Winchester through congregations working together.
If you were to ask me what makes Winchester Baptist Church a special place to be I would humbly say: its people (who are genuinely God and people loving), our openness to things of the Spirit, the sense of corporate worship when we come together, our diversity, youth work, pioneering work with older folks, sense of fun and privilege of regularly seeing small numbers of people find living faith. A good proportion of newcomers say 'it just feels like coming home'.
We are a church that is large enough to be well resourced, yet of a size where you can really get to know people. Just over 300 worship with us regularly of which nearly eighty are Youth and Children.
We consist of four overlapping yet united congregations-
- Our Sunday 10am congregation (which is really our largest and most diverse congregation, with children's and youth work in parallel)
- Our Sunday 6.30pm evening congregation (slightly younger and more progressive)
- The Edge (Youth Congregation for 13+ planted in 2002) that meets Thursday evenings, 7.30pm
- Silver Service (our service for older people, currently monthly at 1.30pm on the first Thursday of the month)
Besides using our website, one of the ways we keep informed of the latest things that are happening in the church is by a weekly email shot. If you would like to subscribe to this mailshot please click here. (Your email address will not be seen or shared with others.)

Please do come and visit us, and be assured you will be made very welcome,
Yours,
