High Street Baptist Church has a prominent position on Tring High Street and is an active part of the community. Although a place of worship on Sunday mornings, we strongly believe that ‘church’ is not just for Sunday. We are concerned about making the Christian faith understandable and relevant to all.
The long-term vision at High Street Baptist Church is for GROWTH: Growth, Relationship, Outreach, Worship, Transformation, Hope. Our objective is to grow both spiritually and numerically as we take the reality of faith with us in our whole-life discipleship, exploring new ways of being church – at home, at work and leisure, through witness, mission and social action. We are a Arocha Gold Eco Church, and also prioritise accessibility and disability awareness in all the activities that we do.
On Sundays we currently have 20-25 children and young people aged 0-16 who regularly attend our Junior Church, (a number of these have additional needs). We also run an established Youth Group which meets on a Monday evening, as well as thriving midweek toddler and baby groups. We have links with local schools and are involved with a number of community events across the year.
