What can you expect when you walk through the doors of New Life Baptist Church?

A warm welcome!

Whether you come to a Sunday service or pop in during the week, we want everyone to feel at ease and at home. If you're here on a Sunday, do stay for a cup of tea and a chat after the service so we can get to know each other.

An unusual setting for a church!

The town's former cinema, our building has been our home since 1998. As you come through the entrance porch, you come into the foyer where once tickets would have been sold, but which is now a warm central space used for many different purposes. Through this is the auditorium where our main worship services are held.
