Parkstone Baptist Church gathers together each Sunday morning from 10.30am.
We usually meet for about 70 minutes. Most folk stay on for a while longer since we enjoy each other's company, usually with a drink of tea, coffee or water in hand.
Folk tend to start arriving from around 10.15am, to greet each other and have a chat together before we begin at 10.30am.
What's coming up on Sundays?
We're currently working our way on a journey through John's Gospel.
We are taking time to read together and learn from the encounters that many different people had with Jesus, which John then wrote about for us.
Our expectation is that this will help us to believe more and more in Jesus as the Son of God, and by believing in this way we will have life in his name. This is the reason that John gave for writing his Gospel (John chapter 20 verse 31) and we're up for that! We'd love you to join us on our journey.
As Advent and Christmas draw closer we move into John's extended account of the events leading up to the last days of Jesus life:
- a life-changing encounter with family friends,
- an astonishing journey into the city of Jerusalem,
- the beginning of the final meal that Jesus would share with his disciples.
As we follow these events with John we will look at all the things Jesus did and said, and how different people responded to Jesus.
