Parkstone Baptist Church


Sunday mornings



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 we move into 2026 we join Jesus in the room where he invited his disciples to share their last supper together. We learn about a series of life changing promises that Jesus made to his followers. We're calling this series "Comfort for disciples".

As we move toward Easter we join Jesus in the final hours of his life, as events seem to move beyond of his control. And yet Jesus is convinced his purpose is now being fulfilled. 
We're calling this series "The Son of God is glorified" since in many ways, this is the central purpose of John's Gospel.

How can I catch up with the things you've been learning from John's Gospel? 
We have been putting together a series of very short videos covering key things we have learned, and questions we have posed, and we are posting them up to our Facebook page and YouTube channel.
There should be a new video posted every few days, as we catch up with our Sunday mornings.
