150th Anniversary
2025 marks 150 years since the Willingham Tabernacle Baptist Church was opened. For all this time people have faithfully come. Sometimes few and sometimes many. In 1988 the large original building was demolished and a new modern church built on the site and opened in 1990. Today it is a vibrant multi-cultural fellowship.
We are a group of believers in Jesus who live in and around the village of Willingham, brought together by the shared desire to make disciples and see God’s Kingdom grow. Our church fellowship has a broad range of ages and ethnicities and we are vibrant and contemporary in worship, Bible based and have active community events. We work with other expressions of church in the village to provide an outreach to people of all stages of life. We have seen growth over the last year and there is an air of excitement that God is with us as we move forward. The church has a “buzz” that visitors often comment on.

We have a service every Sunday at 10am lasting about 60 - 90 minutes followed by fellowship.
The usual sequence in the month is:
- 1st Sunday: Communion service
- 2nd Sunday: Family Service
- Other Sundays: Worship with preaching and separate children's activities
- On the last Sunday of each month we have a visiting preacher giving us a variety of perspectives
Other services will appear on the calendar.
Every Wednesday the church is open from 10am to 11:30 for “coffee morning”. This is open to anyone in the village who would like to sit down and chat with coffee, tea and biscuits provide. A small charge is made to cover costs (currently £2). This is a popular event and regularly attended by 30 – 40 people so don’t be shy. Come and meet new faces.
Once a month, a group of men will gather early on a Saturday morning to enjoy a full cooked breakfast followed by a talk from a visiting speaker. The talk last less than 30 minutes and can cover a wide variety of topics. From time to time the group also have special events (like film night) or outings to places on interest. A small donation is requested for breakfast (£3 suggested) which is waived for first time visitors.

Every two weeks, on Thursdays, our Community Lunch team provide a sit down meal for anyone in the village who wants to join in. Food quality is good and it is an opportunity to socialise and meet other people. The attendance is about 30 people and anyone is welcome. Please use the contact form if you are interested in joining. The dates are shown in our calendar.
TOPS runs on Tuesday morning during term time, starting at 9:45am. It is a time for children aged 0-5 to play and for their mothers/carers to socialise and enjoy each other company and support. There are many toys and play equipment provided. If you are interested please use the contact form.
On most Sundays during the morning service "Sunday school" is held in a separate room for the second half of the service. This is targeted at children between 5 and 12. There will be fun activities as well and Christian teaching. Once a month we hold a family service at which the children participate in the main service throughout.
