Castlehill Baptist Church - A Church in the heart of the community

Groups

Our Church consists of one body, made up of many individuals. Here we are, gathered together for a 'family' photo. 

Castlehill Baptist has a number of different groups which meet on Sunday's and throughout the week. 

Deacons

As a Baptist church we practice congregational church government, where the whole church makes decisions at quarterly meetings. However the general day to day running of the church and it's pastoral needs is overseen by the minister and seven elected deacons. Deacons meet monthly. 

 Crèche

There is a crèche provided on a Sunday morning for children of ages 0-4.

Livewires

Livewires meets on Sunday morning, and is for children of  school age groups P1-S3.

The children leave during the service and split into groups where there are activities, games and teaching on God's word. There are 8 leaders and about 30 children attend regularly on a Sunday.

Youth Fellowship

Youth fellowship meets in homes on Sunday evening after the service, and is for ages 12 upwards. There are 2 leaders and around 20 youth. The programme contains a wide variety of discussions, studies, fun, games and food.
