Rutland Road Church

Meets in Bedford town centre, just off Midland Road. We are a small, friendly church and run a range of activities throughout the week.

Whether you are looking for a place, during the week, to bring your toddler to and meet other mums, somewhere to worship on a Sunday morning or somewhere you can learn more about your creator God you are most welcome. Just use this site to find out what's happening and come along.

We are an independent church which maintains friendship with other local churches. We work together with other Churches across the town in proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ and in worshipping together periodically. Our membership is made up of Christians from various cultures and backgrounds. It is our prayer that we will be "a house of prayer for all nations". Mark 11:17. To this end we welcome people of all backgrounds to join us in worship.

We are also members of Partnership UK, a network of churches of largely Brethren background, who seek to support and encourage one another. And members of the Evangelical Alliance, which seeks to provide a Christian voice to the nation on behalf of evangelical Christians.

For more detailed information on what's happening at our church have a look at our calendar or feel free to contact us at anytime.

Light in the darkness

Don’t you just love Christmas lights??!!

They lift the gloom of the dark, cold, winter days.

The reality is for many that darkness, whether felt or not, is a reality of daily living, not only in the winter months.

Jesus said that he had come to be ‘the light of the world’.
It’s my experience and the experience of many that Jesus does bring light into our lives. He gives us a new perspective on life, bringing light into the darkness. Sometimes that light is not easy though… it can have a habit of showing up dark sides in our nature… But that’s good because he then helps us change them so that light pervades even more of our beings, thus making life all the more better.

Our Christmas publicity this year is themed on ‘Jesus – Light in the darkness.’

In the midst of all the Christmas festivities, all the lights and tinsel, don’t miss out on letting the one that it’s all about, Jesus, come and light up your life.

Come and join us for our Christmas activities as we seek to put Jesus, the light of the world at the centre of our Christmases.
