About Us

• In 1795 a few friends began meeting in Matfield and eventually a chapel was built in 1811. The present chapel was built in 1937.
• We are separate from the Baptist Union, independent and self governing. Strict means we believe it is scriptural that only those who have been baptised by immersion and received by us as church members can take the Lord's Supper.
• The Strict Baptist churches trace their origins in this country to about 1633.
• We use the 1611 "King James" Authorised version of the Bible
• We are an independent church yet associated with the Gospel Standard group of churches.
