The Baptist tradition holds a distinctive place within British church life. Baptist churches practise believer's baptism by immersion and value the independence of each local congregation. The tradition has deep roots in Britain: the first Baptist congregation on English soil gathered in London in 1612. The Baptist Union of Great Britain links around 1,900 churches with roughly 100,000 members, alongside separate unions in Scotland and Wales. The tradition traces its modern form to Early 17th century. As a measure of its reach, the wider family today counts roughly 100,000 members in Baptist Union churches.
The church stands within the wider Christian life of England, whose landscape holds everything from Saxon churches to congregations meeting in converted warehouses. Winchester is the county town of Hampshire and a focal point for church life in the area. If you are new to the area, this is one of several congregations in Winchester worth getting to know.
