Which hymn book do you use? Christian Hymns
Which Bible version do you use? New King James Version
Do you have a Sunday School? Not yet, but we hope to run one when there are sufficient children.
Do you have a youth club? We have a flourishing Friday Club for 7 – 11 year olds.  See the corresponding web page.  When more leaders become available we would like to run a club for 12-16 year olds. 
Do you do any outreach? We distribute leaflets to local houses and in the city centre, we occasionally hold special events and our speakers are at liberty to preach evangelistically.  We believe in the free offer of the Gospel. 
Do you have a prayer meeting? Our prayer meeting is on Thursdays from 7-8pm.  This is a very important event and is well attended. 
Do you have a Bible Study? We do not have a weekly Church Bible Study but we have a two-weekly Contact Bible Study with friends of Grace Baptist Church Portsmouth.  This grew out of our first Christianity Explored Course.
Who preaches on Sunday? At the moment we don’t have a Pastor, so we call upon a variety of talented speakers, many of whom are Pastors or Christian leaders in other like-minded churches.  
Are you looking for a Pastor? Yes, we are taking active steps
Do you support any missionary work? The church has supported the work of a church in Sri Lanka and encouraged fellowship members individually to support Christian workers on the mission field.
Do you have any affiliations? At the moment we are not affiliated, but we shall review this situation when we have a Pastor, taking into account his views.  Nevertheless, we pay special tribute to the help we receive from the Association of Grace Baptist Churches South East, the Grace Baptist Trust Corporation and, especially, Spring Road Evangelical Church in Southampton who have been our unwavering friends since the church was planted
Do you own your building? No, we don’t.  We meet on the premises of Bethesda Free Church which discontinued their meetings shortly before Grace Baptist Church was founded.  We are very grateful to the Trustees of Bethesda Mission for kindly permitting us to meet on their premises and for making us feel so at home.
