OSCR note: South Beach Baptist Church SCIO SC051896-was established to replace South Beach Baptist Church, SC021006
02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
The church has a membership of 108 with two new members joining in the last year. We also had five baptisms and further baptismal services are planned for the near future. Worship services are held every Sunday morning. The services continue to be streamed online via YouTube as we now run a hybrid approach where people can both meet in the building and view the service live online, or later. We have midweek groups usually on a Tuesday alternating between house groups and gatherings at the church. The Alpha Course was run on Wednesdays at the beginning of 2025.
