Who we are

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)

Members of Crich Baptist Church from 1839 Onwards

We provide this information in the hope that it will be of interest. I suspect those who are researching their Family History will find it of some benefit. I have tried to remain faithful to the original lists, but I have to say that there are huge gaps in the records where the full record has not been completed. Not everyone has the date of their baptism recorded, and other detail is also missing. The spelling of surnames is a little inconsistent, and we are not told where most of those who are listed as ‘Removed’ eventually moved to after they left the church at Crich.

The lower the Record number indicates an earlier date of membership, and out of consideration for possible living relatives who may be embarrased by the disclosure, although their names are in the list, I have not mentioned when any member was ‘excluded’.

Listing these members will be a gradual excercise which will be done as quickly as I am able.

If you want to contact me about any of these names, please do, I will always be interested in more information if the people mentioned were your relatives.
