As a city-centre church with a city-wide mission, Canterbury Baptist Church provides ministries and activities for a broad cross section of our community and for people of all-ages. Several of these ministries are typical of local churches, yet given our unique location, some ministries reflect the particular challenges of city-centre ministry. Details of all our regular ministries can be found in the Church Life section of the website. 

A selection of activities across our church ministries are detailed below.

 

House Groups House Groups meet in a variety of locations at different times throughout the week, providing opportunities for friendship, worship, prayer and Bible Study in a comfortable and informal environment. See the House Groups Ministry section for further information.
	Children & Youth Children’s & Youth activities are an important part of the life of Canterbury Baptist Church. We host a variety of age-specific activities for children and youth, co-ordinated by our Director of Children’s & Youth work. See the Children's & Youth Ministry section for further information.
Students With two universities and several language schools in the city, Canterbury is a busy, cosmopolitan, academic centre that the membership of Canterbury Baptist Church reflects. Laura Moncaster is our new Student Worker for 2008/9. See the Students Ministry section for more information.
	Men, Women, and Family There is a busy calendar of regular activities for both men & women. Pastoral support and training is also provided to married couples, parents and families. See the Men’s Ministry,  Women’s Ministry  and Training & Courses  sections for more information.
Seniors / Older Adults With a growing population of older adults, Canterbury Baptist Church is committed to providing pastoral care and regular meetings and activities for our senior citizens. Many of these are organised and staffed by church members whilst others are provided by groups hosted in our premises. See the Senior Citizens Ministry section for further information.
	Community Our extensive church premises/facilities and unique city-centre location make it possible for Canterbury Baptist Church to act as a hub and provide several community based activities. Notable among these are (i) The Lighthouse Project , (ii) a venue for Learning Disabled groups and (iii) a Supervised Contact Centre offered in partnership with social services and local voluntary groups.
