About Us

Hay Hill Baptist Church is a small, vibrant church in the centre of Bath, with an age range of newborn to ninety. Hay Hill is a welcoming community which we often refer to as our ‘church family’. We have people of all stages of life, including a lot of young families.

We meet on Sunday mornings at 10:30, with children and young people having a programme of activities that run in parallel. The style is friendly and family-oriented. We worship and reflect together, and in all that we do look to spur each other on to follow Jesus. This means getting to know God as our father, and living the kind of life Jesus lived and taught. You are welcome to join us, whatever your life situation and beliefs.

We run and contribute to a wide variety of activities:

Under 18's

We run a vibrant programme for children and young people from birth to year 11 on a Sunday morning during the service.  Those is school years 11-13 meet alternate Sunday evenings for bible study, discussion and chat.  For more information about our children's and youth work please click here.

Little Me is an exciting group for under fives and their carers. It’s Monday mornings in term time from 10-11:30 and is a lot of fun with plenty of space for play, creative craft and action packed singing.  If you are interested in attending or would like to know more please email Little Me.

Church Activities

The church has a number of small groups that meet in people’s houses around the city. Our home groups offer the chance for us to share our lives, support each other and spur one another on in living for Christ. We have a group that meet regularly to listen to what God is saying, and pass on encouragement to others.

Throughout the year we run ad hoc series of mid week meetings that focus on Going Deeper in our relationship with Jesus.

We run weekly five-a-side football, have a team in the Bristol Churches Football League, and we have a great cricket team too. All of these sports activities are for anyone who wants to have a go.  There are also regular Mens's breakfasts and social events for the men of the church.

Out in the Community

We support Genesis in their work for the homeless population of Bath, and provide one of the teams who serve lunch for the Sunday centre.

Hay Hill has strong links with Bath Youth For Christ, and supports the Hope In Our Schools initiative. Our pastor, Rob Trickey, helped to start up Bath’s Street Pastors, and we continue to support its work looking to help out vulnerable people in our city on a Friday and Saturday night.

The church building is used by a variety of community groups during the week, from support groups to dancing. We want to share what we have with others, in order to bring hope and to encourage good things in our city.

Leadership and Vision

Our pastor Rob leads the church along with a leadership team of four others.
