Welcome

Welcome to the website of Rockingham Road Baptist Church, Kettering. We hope it will give you an idea of who we are and some of the activities we do.

We are a small, friendly and very inclusive church comprising of members with a variety of backgrounds and abilities. We aim to be a welcoming, worshipping and witnessing community, wanting to see God at work in and through us so that we show His love to those around and see the church grow, not just in numbers but in fellowship and faith.

If you have moved into the area and are looking for a church or are just visiting this part of Northamptonshire, you can find out more about us by browsing this site, or if you want you can get in contact.

We meet for public worship at 10:30am on Sunday mornings in our church building and you are very welcome to join us. We typically have communion on the third Sunday of the month.

Meanwhile we invite you to:​​​​​​ visit on our Facebook page

Carpark

We have a carpark for use by people who are coming to the church.

Due to too many people parking without permission we have resorted to instructing a carpark management company to monitor the carpark. If you are coming to the building for an event, group, or church service please ensure you register your car using the keypad in the Community hall or the QR code at the door in the church and in the hall.

Please note, the church does not benefit financially from any fines issued.

Rooms to Hire

We hire out our Community Hall and main worship space. The well equipped kitchen and small courtyard are accessible from the hall. 

If you are interested in hiring our rooms please email office@rrbc.org.uk if you would like to have a look at the facilities, to check availability, or ask for a cost.
