Welcome to Oldfield Park Baptist Church.
Welcome to the website of Oldfield Park Baptist Church. We hope you find everything you're looking for here. If this is your first visit here you might like to know a bit about us.
We are an evangelical Baptist Church comprising of people drawn from various parts of Bath but predominatly from the Oldfield Park area, just to the South West of Bath City Centre. Our church buildings are located in The Triangle in Oldfield Park. This is where we meet on a Sunday and at other times during the week for various events and activities.
As a church, we believe we are made to know and enjoy a relationship with God our creator personally. We believe this has been made possible for us only through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, God's Son. For that reason Jesus is not just relevant but central to our lives. This is why we meet together regularly to worship him and encourage one another to follow him (i.e. to model our lives on his life). As we do that we are brought closer to God and to one another.
We also see ourselves as a family, which means two things. Firstly, we support and encourage one another in our daily lives as followers of Jesus and secondly, we desire to grow, like any healthy family, which, of course, means welcoming others in.
Whether you are a follower of Jesus yourself, or you're not sure, or you just want to know what that means you are welcome. You will discover more about what we have going on or how to find or contact us on this website.
We look forward to meeting you sometime!

Trailblazers meet every Sunday morning. They join with the adults for worship at 10.30am and then leave for their own group at 11am.
The session begins with an activity, preferably involving movement, to expound some energy, but related to the morning's theme. The children then split into two age groups for Bible teaching, sharing and discussion. The session ends with a craft, art or dramatic activity to express the theme.
As leaders, we strive to share the Gospel message with the children, and would appreciate your prayers that these young people will reach the point of accepting Jesus into their lives as their Lord and Saviour.

Showstoppers Holiday Club |
|
Last October kids at OPBCBath were invited to join in the sport themed fun at our holiday club.
We did a sporty assault course and physical challenges. We made some great crafty things, including a winner’s medal. Then we spent time in the Pit Stop Cafe, talking about what we had learned about Jesus, whilst we munched a tasty snack.
On the last day we showed the parents what we had been doing and sang our, by now, VERY loud song with totally awesome actions and dancing. Lots of points had been won during the week and we all celebrated with the winners. Then we shared some lunch together – a great end to four really fun days.
This October we will be doing it all again!!
This years theme will be SHOWSTOPPERS

We have been copying TV Art Attack’s idea, making our own BIG ART picture. We used fabric, junk cut offs and carpet tiles from the Scrapstore to make this beach picture. Can you see a couple of boats on the water, an ice capped mountain, a waterfall and a sunbather?
We had great fun making the picture detailed. When it was finished, we stood of the stage steps to get the best view. You have to stand well back to get the big picture. God has given us great imaginations to create new things out of old, and He has created an amazing world for us to marvel at and copy in our picture.
Story Keepers will now run from 6pm - 7pm every term time Thursday, we look forward to seeing you there.
