Welcome!

We enjoy meeting at the Chapel to worship God and learn more about him from the Bible. We would love for you to share the joy of knowing Jesus as Lord and Saviour. See our Meetings page for information on our regular services. You would be most welcome to attend any of our activities. Guy Davies has been our minister since November 2003. Our churches are Evangelical and Reformed, holding that salvation is through grace alone, by faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone. 
You will also find information here about Ebenezer Baptist Church, West Lavington, a neighbouring willage work we are seeking to support.

For more information about our meetings, please scroll down the page.

Anniversary Services 2025

This year, Providence Baptist Church will be 215 years old. As usual, there will be anniversary services on the first weekend of September - an opportunity to give thanks to God for past blessings and to look forward to the future, seeing God at work. God willing, on Saturday Sept 6th at 4pm, the preacher will be Daryl Jones of Grace Baptist Mission; on Sunday the 7th, Paul Pomeroy from Grace Church in Yate will be preaching at both services. We love to be joined by other local churches on these occasions and give you a warm welcome if you are able to join us.

We're starting a new free activity for families called Footsteps Through the Bible. There will be crafts, songs and a story from the Bible showing us part of God’s big plan, followed by refreshments. The next Footsteps event is on Sunday Sept 28th from 4-5.30pm and is about how God created man and how Adam and Eve disobeyed God. All families are very welcome.

Topical Interviews on creation, anxiety and facing death

You Could Have It All: An interview with Geoff Thomas

A staple of New Year’s Eve TV programmess is Jools Holland’s ‘Hootenanny’, a show packed with music and chat to take us into a New Year. Often Jools will ask his guests for the New Year predictions. They usually say something optimistic like, ‘It’s going to be the best year ever’. 2020 didn’t quite work out like that. Who knows what 2021 has in store for us? It needn’t be a let down. Author Geoff Thomas has written a book promising, You Could Have It All. Sounds to good to be true? Our pastor Guy Davies will be asking Geoff exactly what he means by that in an online interview on Sunday 3 January 2021 at 6.00pm. You will find the interview livestreamed on our Facebook page.

'Facing fear, finding hope' - an interview with Jeremy Marshall

Jeremy Marshall was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer in 2013. He was 49 years old, happily married with three children. After undergoing surgery and a course of radiotherapy, Jeremy was declared cancer-free. But three years later he was diagnosed with cancer again, this time in a different form and was told it was incurable.

Jeremy wrote a book called "Beyond the Big C" which chronicles Jeremy’s extraordinary relationship with cancer and, more than anything, his extraordinary relationship with the person who promises life beyond the prognosis. The essence of Jeremy’s story is that despite the sickness and disease present in the world, a life lived in light of Christ’s death on the cross means there is hope for the future no matter what.

Jeremy Marshall is the former CEO of the UK’s oldest private bank, C. Hoare & Co. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2016. In this interview, Pastor Guy Davies talks to Jeremy about his faith in the face of death. Click here to watch the video. Jeremy went to be with the Lord in 2023.

          Good news for our world for                         everyone in every situation

In the gospel (which literally means Good News) according to John, chapter 3 and verse 16, John writes "For God so loved the world,[a] that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
But what does that mean?
We learn about God from the Bible. He is a God of sovereign purpose, boundless love, awesome power and spotless purity. The one true and living God eternally exists in three glorious Persons – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Human beings are made in the image of God. This is what makes us so special. But sin has ruined our relationship with God. If we are honest, we all have to admit that we are sinners. Deep down we long for a relationship with God. We are made for him and nothing less than knowing God can satisfy the human heart.
God so loved the world that he sent his only Son, Jesus, into the world to deal with the problem of sin. Jesus came as man in order to die on the cross that we might be put right with God. But he did not stay dead. God raised him from the grave and exalted him to heaven.
We believe that Jesus Christ is Lord. He is alive today and is able to save all who trust in him. In Jesus Christ, God offers us a relationship with himself that is real and satisfying. One day we will all have to give an account to God for the way we have lived our lives. Jesus died in the place of sinners so that we might not perish, but have eternal life. For our eternal future to be certain, it is essential to put things right with God now by trusting Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.
