New Year, New Location
Welcome to the Britten Grove Baptist Church website. You find us at an exciting time. We are outgrowing our current location and from 15th January 2012 we are relocating to the SNAP centre in Walnut Tree. This move opens up many exciting opportunities for us as a church.
We are an exciting young church which is seeking to transform the lives of people in the areas surrounding Walnut Tree on the Eastern edge of the new city of Milton Keynes.
Our church consists of people from many different backgrounds and who are young and old, all seeking to learn more about our saviour Jesus Christ through the inspired word found in the Bible.
We aim to provide ministry to all our membership both in the Sunday service and throughout the rest of the week.
We would deeply love to see you at one of our regular services and hope to see you soon.
Am I really making a difference?
A poor Scottish farmer by the name of Fleming was working in his field one day when he heard a cry coming from a nearby bog. Immediately he dropped his tools and rushed toward the sound of the cries.

“No, I can t accept payment for what I did,” Fleming replied. At that moment, a young boy came to the door of the farmhouse.
“Is that your son?” the nobleman asked.
“Yes,” replied the farmer.
“I have a proposition for you,” the nobleman continued. “Let me take your son with me and give him a good education. If the lad is anything like his father, he will grow to be a man you can be proud of.”
Knowing what an expensive education could mean for his son, Farmer Fleming accepted the offer. In time, his son graduated from St. Mary’s Hospital Medical School in London and became known throughout the world as Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin.
But that’s not the end of the story. Years later, the nobleman’s son was stricken with pneumonia. His life was saved by...penicillin.
The nobleman’s name was Lord Randolf Churchill. His son’s name was Winston... Yes, that's Winston Churchill!
Do you ever wonder if what you do makes any real difference to anyone? History has proven over and over that God uses seemingly insignificant actions to change lives and impact the world in ways we may never realize. Nothing we do for God is insignificant.
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap (Luke 6:38)...Read More...
