Church in the City

2nd Saturday of the month

Love and care for our local community

As a church we love and care for our local community so we like to get to know, support and share with those who live and work within our area. On the 2nd Saturday of each month our Church in the City team visit our local businesses to chat about any local concerns they have, see if we can help, to listen to any personal items they wish to share, and to let them know about our activities.  As a result we are pleased that some of their outside activities have been able to be accommodated in our building and that our social action work through The Centre Project has benefitted from help by volunteers.

In starting up Church in the City we hoped to foster community spirit and are pleased to see that vision growing as we support each other.

It is our desire that our team would grow so that we can widen the reach of our Church in the City ministry.

Seniors Ministry

3-4 times per year we host an afternoon tea for over 60’s in a local tennis club clubhouse. We encourage our seniors to invite their senior friends and anybody they may know who may be lonely or isolated. A fresh spread of sandwiches, cakes, and hot and cold drinks is always served alongside the sharing of communion.

The Centre Project was founded by members of Central Baptist Church in 1996.

The aim of the Centre Project is to provide support for the vulnerable in our community in Leicester. The Centre Project aims to reach those who are most excluded from our society to reduce isolation and promote well being. The Centre Project is a place where those who are alone and socially isolated can find acceptance, a sense of belonging and renewed purpose.
