You might be surprised to hear it’s not the building in the picture (that’s just where we meet) but a group of people of all ages living in Bratton and the surrounding area who have faith that what Jesus Christ taught is true, and if followed will transform everyone’s lives for the better.

Many apologies for the confusion about the advertising of Revive Cafe and Revive +plus throughout June. Due to Coronavirus we have had to remain closed for the time being and will be back as soon as possible. This will not be before the Autumn term. Every Blessing Allison🙏❤️
At Bratton Baptist Church we have spent the last few months having our services online on YouTube on Sunday mornings at 11am with other virtual events during the week. Whilst Churches have now been told they can open for worship we have decided we are not going to rush into this. This isn't because we don't want to gather again collectively but because when we do we want to make sure that we do it right! There is much we need to take into consideration: how we set out chairs to ensure social distancing can take place, how we protect vulnerable people, how we provide for children, how we make sure the building is being cleaned properly, that we increase ventilation...plus much more! Whilst we do this we will continue with our online meetings. Please do join us www.youtube.com/channel/UCVN-3DleL5K53y51fSK1Gvw and please do contact us (simon@brattonbaptistchurch.org.uk) if there is anything we can help you with, we would love to be there for you!
