'Taking Jesus to the people, bringing the people to Jesus'
Community @ Forest Gate
Who We Are...
We are a Baptist church in the heart of Blackpool who take seriously God's call to 'Love God and Love Our Neighbours'
We meet every Sunday at 10.45am for about an hour, where we pray together, hear stories of how God's love is impacting lives today, explore the Bible and sing a mix of modern songs and hymns.
Our services are best described as 'casual and chaotic', there is no dress-code, everyone is welcome to take part and we don't use any religious jargon.
Church Life...
We are a family church with a passion for community. As a result we have a lively program of activities throughout the week for all ages as well as on Sundays.

Our History...
The original church (Whitegate Drive Baptist Church) was founded in 1909 and the church opened in 1910 with extensions in 1927. For the remainder of the church's life subsidence was a constant battle. A decision to demolish the church was taken in 2000 and the WD40 Appeal was launched. The new building opened in March 2004 and renamed Forest Gate Baptist Church as it fronts onto Forest Gate.
