Rochester Baptist Church

25/08/2026

We've been meeting in the centre of Rochester since 1888 — though most of us aren't old enough to remember that!

A lot has changed in well over a century, but the heart of what we do hasn't: gathering together to worship God, care for each other, and serve this town we love.

If you're curious about what we're like today, we'd love to welcome you 👉 https://rochesterbaptist.co.uk/visit/

We love Rochester. But our hearts reach a lot further than Medway.

As a church, we actively support a number of mission organisations around the world — sharing God's love in places from Southern France to the Middle East, North Africa, and Chad. We also stand with Christians around the world who face serious opposition for their faith.

If you'd like to find out more about the missions we support, you can read about them on our website 👉 https://rochesterbaptist.co.uk/about

This Sunday we're doing something a bit different — we're reading through Mark's gospel, from start to finish... well, almost! We're doing the first half this week, and then in a few weeks we'll do part 2 (on 30th August).

Come along to hear this Bible book read in a way you may not have before, with lots of people taking part and some dramatic readings for good measure.

Our Sunday meetings will look a bit different over the Summer, with an exciting line-up starting this Sunday with Good News in the Park.

Whether you've visited us before or not, pop down to The Vines at the top of Crow Lane from 10.30am for a relaxed outdoor meeting, followed by a picnic lunch.

Can we let you in on a secret? When you come to visit us, you won't find a perfect church. No such thing exists.

What you will find is that we're a welcoming, genuine bunch — people of all ages and backgrounds, doing our best to follow Jesus together in our church family.

We care about our town, we care about people, and we'd love to get to know you.

If you've been curious about visiting, this is your nudge. Come and see what we're about 👉

Welcome to RBC. A friendly FIEC church family, in historic Rochester, worshipping the God of history. Find out all about us here!

It's Saturday night at our building on Crow Lane.

As Christmas week approaches, why not join us this Sunday evening, for a traditional carol service full of Christmas joy.

From 6pm we'll have singing, readings, a short Bible message and some festive refreshments to finish.

Can't make it? Pop along to the High Street on Christmas eve and join us for some carol singing! We'll be there from 3pm, and then we'll be heading back to The Moat House Coffee Shop for a mince pie or two!
