Wakefield Baptist Church is a city-wide community of Christians of a broadly evangelical nature, committed to 'helping people follow Jesus'. We belong to the Baptist Union of Great Britain and the Yorkshire Baptist Association. WBC is also a part of Churches Together in Wakefield.

Our aim as a church is to encourage people to follow Jesus in ways which are authentic to them. We try to encourage each other to live balanced and healthy Christian lives, under three headings or “menus”. These are: 'Worship', 'Learning & Growing' and 'Service'. Individuals are encouraged to build a balanced diet suited to their own circumstances and personality by choosing from each menu. At the same time we affirm those people who are called to activities that are beyond the boundaries of WBC. You can find out more about each of these menus using the 'Learn ', 'Serve ' and 'Worship ' links on the left.

This broad base means we are something of a 'community of communities'. Recent community-wide events have been organized at seasonal festivals and for prayer and to renew our membership covenant.
