Stoneygate Baptist Church

Stoneygate Baptist Church is a community that meets each week for worship and fellowship. Our church building is a well known landmark on London Road, about two miles from Leicester city centre. Some of those who join us live very locally, while others live further away.

Sunday services are at 10:30am in the building, with written reflections shared on our blog afterwards, and they are led by our minister and members of the congregation. They include hymns and prayers, as well as a reading from scripture and a thought-provoking sermon. Communion is celebrated on the the first Sunday of the month, and we use non-alcoholic wine and offer gluten free bread. We also hold monthly church meetings, usually after the service on the third Sunday of the month, when we talk about and make plans for the life of the church.

We are a Fairtrade Church as well as an Inclusive Church, and are seeking to become more eco-conscious, as well as getting involved with campaigns such as Amnesty International’s Wright for Rights. We choose a local charity to fundraise for every year, and we also support national and international charities including BMS World Mission and Christian Aid.

You would be most welcome to join us any Sunday, but if you would like to know more about us first, you can explore our website or drop a message to our minister Leigh Greenwood.

Accessibility Information

The church is over one hundred years old, but we have worked to make it as accessible as possible. We have a ramp to improve access at the front of the building, as well as step free access at the side of the building. Inside, the front half of the main church space has chairs laid out in rows, while the back half has chairs around tables, and all of the furniture can be moved to suit access needs. The sanctuary also has a hearing aid loop and sound system installed. At the back of the sanctuary, we have a kitchenette so that refreshments can be served with ease, as well the 'Prayground' with books and activities as a space to play and explore faith. We also have an all gender accessible toilet, including a baby changing unit and a toddler toilet seat.
