Crich Baptist Church is an Independent Baptist Church in Crich, Derbyshire, situated in the heart of England, Reformed and Evangelical in doctrine. We believe ourselves to be a warm-hearted and welcoming people, so if you are looking for a church to settle in and make your spiritual home, do come and visit us, we would love to have the opportunity of getting to know you.

We Believe

We believe the Bible to be God's revealed Word and consider it to be infallible and inerrant. To us it is our sole rule of faith and practice. We urge sinners everywhere to repent and believe the Gospel, and preach that salvation is by grace alone, in Christ alone, through faith alone, seeking, with God's help, to "earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints"! (Jude v3)

How to Find Us

The Baptist Church can be found in the Market Place, right in the centre of the Derbyshire village of Crich. For friends who may not know where the county of Derbyshire is, it is situated almost right in the middle of England. The village of Crich itself is on the outskirts of the beautiful Peak District National Park, approximately 15 miles from Derby, and is located strategically between the Market towns of Matlock to the North, Wirksworth to the West, Alfreton to the East, with Ripley and Belper to the South.

Crich is about 7 miles from junction 28 of the M1 motorway, and is also easily reached from the A6, A38 and A615. There is a ‘reasonable’ local bus service, and on-street parking near the church is usually quite adequate.

The nearest major railway stations are at Derby, and at Chesterfield. Both are on the Midland main line, with trains travelling from London St. Pancras right up to Sheffield and Leeds. There are smaller country stations nearby at Whatstandwell, Ambergate, Cromford and Matlock. Services to these, whilst being better than nothing are somewhat infrequent. Check the relative timetables for details.

Should you ever be in the area you will always be very welcome to come to any of our services. If you need any further details, please do feel free to contact us we would love to hear from you.
