Ackhill
Baptist Church
Living as disciples of Jesus, making disciples of Jesus.
Welcome to Ackhill Baptist Church!
We're a Christian Church just outside Presteigne on the famous Offa's Dyke Path.
Come along to our Sunday Morning Service at 11am. We do not currently have an evening service.
Our time of worship together involves songs, prayer and teaching from the Bible. Young children can usually leave the service during the sermon for age appropriate teaching. Come as you are and find out what it means to be a Christian.
All ages are welcome as well as all backgrounds, whether you've been a Christian for many years or are just wondering what it's all about.
Our simple aim is to live as disciples of Jesus and to make disciples of Jesus. We look to the Bible as God's Word, seeking together to understand it and apply it to our lives.
Our concern is to reach out to the rural community of Presteigne and Knighton, as well as further afield, with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
