We are a small, loving part of God's family. We worship Him and work with Him to extend His kingdom in this beautiful area of rural Somerset.
All the services will be in the church from now on. This is a great step forward to share worship and fellowship together in our church again. Please come join us! The schedule for the services is posted in forthcoming events and on the calendar. See the News section for more details.
If you live in the local area and would like us to pray for you or need someone to talk to or would like some practical help, please email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
We hope this site will give you some information about God, about us, and what we do and why we do it.
If you are in our part of the world, we hope you will come and visit us. Everyone is welcomed and we enjoy seeing new faces and visitors in our church.
Please check the calendar for the dates and events.
Stoke St. Gregory Baptist Church is hosting an outdoor Messy Church event on Saturday 23 July in the grounds of the Baptist chapel. We will start at 4pm with various outdoor crafts and activities for the families to do together. We will then have a short interactive Bible story and finish by sharing food together about 5pm. We look forward to welcoming families and to enjoying the time together.
Stoke St Gregory Baptist Church has chosen to support Arc (Taunton Association for the Homeless) for 2022.
A small group of us are fundraising for Arc by joining in with their Big Sleep Out on Friday 10th June. We will be sleeping out in the Baptist church grounds between 6.30pm on the Friday night, through to the Saturday morning. We are raising money through sponsorship and would be incredibly grateful for anyone who wanted to donate using the paper sponsorship form provided. We also have a team “Just Giving” page that can be used for online donations.
We would really love for others from the village to join us and get sponsored to spend one night at the Baptist Church. The Big Sleep Out is open to all ages (Please note that all minors must be accompanied by a parent/carer who would be responsible for them for the duration of the Sleep Out).
Please contact Amanda Saunders (07767 324915 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) if you’d like to join in, or support us via our “Just Giving” page (see below).
We are not looking to replicate what it’s really like for those who have no choice other than to sleep out, but it’s an ideal opportunity to raise awareness of how Arc empowers and inspires those experiencing homelessness locally, and to raise much needed funds for them.
Thank you so much for any support you can give 😊
Please support SSG Baptists and Friends who are fundraising for Taunton Association for the Homeless on JustGiving.
JustGiving sends your donation straight to Taunton Association for the Homeless and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you are a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more.
We wanted to connect with the community again after such a long time in lockdown, aware that there are many in the community who feel isolated and alone. We enjoy providing hospitality, so on a sunny evening in August we hosted a church BBQ. It was lovely to see so many people eating good food and enjoying each other’s company. Thanks to Tony for providing the beef brisket (historic as always), Ian who BBQ’d the chicken and sausages, and everyone else who provided salads, dips, and desserts. It was a lovely evening.

They are like trees planted along the riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.'
