QRBC Verse for 2022 - John 13 : 35  "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another"

Queens Road Baptist Church (QRBC) is a lively family orientated church situated in the heart of the seaside town of Broadstairs in Kent. We are a community of people who love the chance to welcome and make new friends. At the centre of our life here is the desire to learn and experience what it means to follow the ways of Jesus. We warmly invite you to join us and explore the Christian faith.

Our Sunday services take place at 0900 and 1030 and cater for all ages with lively worship, bible based teaching and a focus on developing discipleship which is core to the spiritual focus of the church. Children and young people can also access their own age-specific groups during the service. Sunday services were livestreamed during the Covid-19 pandemic and we continue to offer this service and also daily bible devotionals for anyone who wishes to access the church services and midweek teaching via our YouTube Channel.

Beyond Sunday services the church is a bustling hive of activity with midweek activities and opportunities engaging the church family and local community alike and on average the church can easily see 1000+ people come through the doors each week.

Our community outreach programme is very much underpinned by the long standing GAP Project which has operated from the church for many years.  A registered charity, GAP is supported by a team of 120 volunteers managing the café and groups/activities which run within this inclusive and welcoming environment providing a safe place for people to access the support and resources they need to build their self esteem, make informed decisions and improve their quality of life. GAP has become a vital safety net for people to access in times of need - with access to advice, support, friendship and a hot meal in times of crisis.

The project enables people to reach their potential, whether it be within education, relationships or employment. Expansion into the community is at the heart of GAP and in recent years has launched its own charity shop ‘Gap in the Market’ on the Broadstairs High Street, and was also pivotal to the opening of the Thanet Winter Shelter.

Global Outreach is also at the heart of QRBC and affords the church the opportunity to support both physically and financially a schools programme in Uganda through Global Challenge, the support of vulnerable children in Zambia and Rwanda through Bethany Children’s Trust and ongoing support through BMS, Tear Fund and Home Mission. Closer to home the church is involved with local schools, Scripture Union and Churches Together.
