History
Hill Street Chapel - 1959
Accounts of Non-conformists in Wisbech go back to the 1500s, with Baptists appearing on the scene in the following century.  The story of our spiritual forefathers teaches us about:-
·
Courage - as when two local men were taken and burnt at the stake at Ely because of their Protestant beliefs
·
Commitment - as when local Baptists were host to a nationally reputed Baptist Training College in Wisbech
·
Communion - as when in modern times two long-separate Baptist communities came together to create a new Baptist church
We trust you will enjoy our brief account of the history of our church.  For you it may be merely history; for us it is the story of how God has been at work - building His Church.
