Connect Groups meet every second week at various locations and different times around the city.
They are a great way for forming deeper relationships with people, and encouraging each other in our walk with God.
We aim to care for one another and the people in our lives well, praying that we grow in faith in Jesus, and love for each other as we do so. Whether new to St Albans Baptist, or been coming for many years, we would love to have you join one of these groups.
The "Twenties and Thirties" Connect Group meet together on Tuesdays 7:30-9:00pm Fortnightly in Redwood.
We love connecting, flowing with the Holy Spirit, enjoying the Bible to gain understanding and inspiration for daily living and to equip us for Ministry.
We also enjoy prayer, fellowship and supper together.

Brian and his group meet Tuesdays Fortnightly from 7pm- 9pm. Age range from 20’s through to 60’s. We are doing more in depth Bible study – Looking at the bible from the point of view of who it was written to and how they would have understood what was being said – then taking that through to day and our culture and what this may therefore mean for us today.
We usually start with a drink and the Trinity present (Scones, Jam and Cream).

Here at St Albans Baptist, we have a new Families Café Church for children and their parents on the Sunday morning.
We would love to see you there, whether you have been to church for years, or you and your family have never been into a church and would like to pop in and see what we offer.
Our service aims to be relaxed; grab a coffee, sit round a table.
Time with a person up front talking is broken into smaller chunks to allow for the shorter attention span of younger participants, while still aiming to bring a deeper level for the adults.
St Albans Baptist church Service starts at 10am in the main auditorium, and the families go out to our café at around 10:20am. You are welcome to meet us in the Auditorium at 10 am for the music, or meet us at 10:20 in the café.
We are usually finished by 11:30am.
We believe that children and young people have as much to offer and contribute as the other members of our church. Our Families Cafe aims to provide a place to support and mentor our children as fully engaged members of our church.
