A message from our co-ministers, Matthew and Mags Farrow

Thanks for looking at the church’s website.  Whether this is your first contact with a church, or with Oakes Baptist you’re very welcome.    

 We have only recently joined the church community at Oakes ourselves and we have discovered an active church community made up of lots of different people of all ages and various backgrounds and nationalities.  Together we are seeking to express a living, active, Christian faith and to have a positive influence in serving the community around us, not just on Sundays, but throughout the week.

 Inevitably you will only see a small part of church life reflected in this website but we hope that it will give you some helpful information about us, and what we get up to.

 The main event of the church’s week is our service on a Sunday morning from 10:30, with time afterwards for refreshments and chat, but whether you decide to come along on a Sunday, to one of the many regular weekday activities, or to some of our social events, we hope that we might see you soon and that you’ll feel at home with us.

 You will discover that the church is made up of very ordinary people who have encountered an extraordinary God. We believe that having a real relationship with this God is not only possible, but also positive and very important. If, even through this website, you pick up some of the excitement and possibilities there are in following Jesus Christ and something of his loving concern for you, we’ll be very pleased.

 Please don’t hesitate to let us know if we can help with anything, including any questions that you have.

 Matthew and Mags
