We’re well into the third and final series in our 2018 study of the biblical book, First Corinthians. We’re enjoying everything it has to say about every member of the church using their talents, gifts and personalities to build and enrich the church as a single body. Here are members depicting that recently – each […]
Rap up 1 Corinthians!
We’re going to celebrate the end of our series on 1st Corinthians on 11 November with a poetry competition. If you were in the Guildhall on 8 October you will have heard our lyrical attempt to remind ourselves about what’s happened in the letter in the first 10 chapters … we want to finish the […]

Leaders update
We’re pleased to announce that Abbie Brister has joined the Leadership Team, and we have revised the map of who is primarily responsible for what on our six-strong leadership team. But what does leadership mean in Forefront? In common with many churches whose origins are in the non-conformist tradition, we understand church leadership to be […]
Answers to prayer!
We have had some amazing answers to prayer recently. Give thanks! Ben and Emma have received support and promises equivalent to 80% of the funds they need to support their work in Cairo. Likewise, Anisa has most of the funds necessary for her 9 months in Colombia … only the visa to go, now. The […]
… our daily bread …
We are half way through our six week series on ‘praying the Lord’s prayer’, and it has been enriching. This Sunday (10:30am, Chard Guildhall) we are looking at the faith request, “give us today our daily bread”. In the last few weeks we have seen God answering a number of prayers for the church (expect […]
Help us find the lost sheep!
These sheep need your help! They are lost in the shops of Chard. You can help them by completing the Sheep Treasure Trail at Chard Festival. Entry forms can be collected from outside Chard Baptist Church on Sat 21 July (9.30am-12.30pm) where there will also be fun sheep crafts, opportunity to learn why Jesus compared […]
Marker of talent
Sometimes, after a Friday night meeting of Forefront’s Unite youth club, we can’t wipe the whiteboard clean quickly enough! And sometimes, you just don’t want to wipe it off at all. That was the case after youth member Henry Atkinson-Body stunned everyone by picking up a marker pen and sketching this portrait of Cap’n Jack […]
Peter’s wobbly moment
Peter walks on the water, with Jesus and their boat … all modelled in a cup of jelly. Children from Rocks ‘n Topz had fun this week making their own Lake Galilee (or is that Jellilee?)
Children of all ages are welcome to join us each Sunday morning at Chard Guildhall for our traditional Sunday School, with crèche for younger kids and the 180 youth group for those over 11.
Board directors
It takes a lot of smart people working hard behind the scenes to get the Sunday service at Chard Guildhall going each week – set up, projection, children’s church, sound, catering and more. Here, Pete and Philip put the sound board through its paces.
