Get to know us

We are Bradfield and Rougham Church (BRBC). Our mission is to love Jesus together and help others to do the same, and we love to welcome new people into our church family. Read on for how we do this.

We are a Baptist church, we are reformed, and we base what we do on God’s word, the Bible. Along with a group of more than 600 other churches in the UK, we are affiliated to the Fellowship of Evangelical Churches (FIEC).

Hey there, I’m James, Lead Pastor at BRBC. I oversee the teaching, vision, staff team and pastoral care. I really enjoy getting to know people, helping them find their identity in Jesus, and seeing God work powerfully in their lives. Make sure to come and say Hi when you visit.

I’d love to introduce you to the rest of the team…

Strategic Vision 2025

We have inherited an extraordinary legacy from 1834 and want to grab hold of the baton of Gospel Witness in our local area and efficiently and fruitfully strive into what God has in store for us. Have a read through the Elders’ vision for BRBC over the next 5 years.

We have inherited a legacy.
