Smaller Churches Network

Monday 9th June 2025, 7pm

Online
Smaller Churches Network 09.06

At SCBA, we recognise the unique challenges that come with being part of a smaller church community. We want you to know that you are not alone. To support one another, we host termly online gatherings specifically for churches with a membership of under 40 people. These times together provide space to listen, share, and encourage each other in ministry and mission. Alongside this, we also encourage local, in-person meet-ups to deepen connection and offer mutual support. Whether online or face-to-face, our heart is to journey together and strengthen one another in all that God is calling us to do.

For more information about in-person meet-ups contact Rev Hayley

Other Baptist Events       

Black Theology & Ministry Consultation

Wednesday 7th May, 7-9pm

New Road Baptist Church, Oxford
Centre for Black Theology

The evening will be musical interludes and perhaps some liturgy and an opportunity for church leaders and pastors to meet leading scholars and activists and ask them questions: – Less of the intellectual form of the morning, and more concerned with issues of practice. The evening will explore issues such as:-
  • How does one preach Black or Womanist informed sermon?
  • Can we give examples of how Black hermeneutics shape Bible study or our re-reading of well known biblical texts?
  • How can music carry liberative theological content and not just be a placebo for making people feel good? Is the latter necessarily a bad thing? 
Taking part will be:
Professor Dwight N. Hopkins – Chicago University Divinity School
Dr Aaron Grizzell - Northern California Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Foundation
Dr Andrea C. White – Union Theological Seminary
Dr Raymond Carr - Harvard University
Bernett Nkwayi Mulungo – University of South Africa

If you wish to attend the evening, please contact Irim Sarwar @ office@newroad.org.uk
