About Us

Hope Baptist Church was founded over 100 years ago and is affiliated to the Baptist Union of Great Britain (BUGB) and is a member of the South Wales Baptist Association (SWBA). The chapel is a grade 2 listed building in the commercial centre of Bridgend and there are currently 110 members on the church role and there are a good number of others who attend regularly.

The worship style is a mix of traditional and modern with both the organ and a small band providing the musical accompaniment.

The preaching and teaching of God’s word is of the highest priority and is a vital element in our worship services.

On Sundays we have one service at 10.30am a crèche is available if required. The church also meets for prayer and Bible study during the week and there are other meetings which provide outreach opportunities. We have communion on the 1st  Sunday of the month.

The Church actively supports the work of  the Bridgend Food Bank. Hope members work with this organisation as volunteers, trainers, and/or trustees. Some of the church members also undertake important roles within BUGB and SWBA for example trainer on Safeguarding Children and Adults at Risk.

Hope is a registered charity (No 1133067) and has  Safeguarding Children and Adults at risk policies in place ,and  all appropriate officers in the church also have enhanced DBS checks undertaken every four years.

The church has a leadership team of 11 deacons (with1 vacancy).  We have a new minister Rev Darren Blaney who joined us in June 2022.
