It is with heavy hearts that we share with you the sad news of the passing of our much loved Pastor Gary. After a courageous battle with cancer, Gary peacefully went to be with the Lord on Thursday 13th March 2025.

Though Gary only joined us in November 2022, his impact on our church family was profound and immediate. His love, and faith in the Lord was evident in every sermon and interaction. He has touched each of our lives and we are deeply saddened by this loss. We find comfort in knowing that Gary is now resting in the arms of our Saviour.

Gary served as a minister for 33 years, giving over half of his earthly life to that calling and we know his passing will also be deeply felt by the Baptist Churches of East Kilbride and York.

Gary’s funeral service will be on Monday 31 March. There will be a committal service at Maplewood Chapel, Stockton Crematorium at 12 noon followed by a service of thanksgiving at our church at 1pm. There will be refreshments afterwards.

 

 

 

 

Our Church is made up of all kinds of ordinary people. They are all different but have in common a real experience of Jesus and His love.  Come and meet us on Sunday mornings at 10.30am!  We usually have a cuppa after service too so come along and say hello!  We look forward to meeting you.

We meet every Sunday morning, there is always someone on the door to meet and greet you, to answer any questions and to make you feel welcome.  The services usually include a mix of traditional and more contemporary songs, a time for prayer, a reading or two from the Bible and a message.

There is opportunity for children to leave the morning service and join the JIGSAW group where there is a special message delivered just for the children and the chance to do a craft.  The JIGSAW leaders will guide the children to their various classes usually during the second hymn/song. There are also toys in the foyer to entertain the smallest children during the sermon.

We would love to meet and get to know you.

Our other activities are – 5th Billingham Rainbows, Brownies & Guides on a Tuesday, Line Dancing on Tues & Thursday mornings at 10am, Men’s and Women’s Bible Study Groups and our Bible Study Group on Thursdays at 7pm.

We also have the following groups –
