Hawkinge Baptist Church Description
We are a small and growing church community, meeting each Sunday in the chapel within the Hawkinge Community Centre from 10. 30am-11. 30am (approx. )
Visitors are very welcome - whether you are visiting the area, looking for a fellowship, or interested in seeing what church is all about.
The fourth Sunday in each month is an all age service, complementing the JUMP FOR JOY Saturday children's club we run twice a month for primary school aged children within the town. We also run a free summer children's club each year - check our posts for news and updated information!
