Jerusalem Baptist Chapel

General information

We are a long established community chapel.
We are a warm caring family orientated church made up of ordinary people who have found the Lord Jesus Christ to be their personal savoir. We have a big heart to see others come to know Jesus Christ personally. We also have a big heart for mission locally and globally with mission teams going to Uganda and Nepal.
