Carey Baptist Church

Carey Baptist Church

Carey Baptist Church is an independent evangelical/baptist church in Reading, England.

History

The church was founded in 1867 and was named after William Carey, a famous missionary from Northamptonshire, who went to India in 1793, and never returned to his homeland. The chapel was opened in 1871 in Tappenden Street which was subsequently re-named Carey Street after the church.

Additional premises, The Carey Centre, in Anstey Road (a parallel road behind the chapel) were acquired in 1993, following the closure of Central Evangelical Church.

Carey today

The church building is on Carey Street in central Reading, close to the Inner Distribution Road (IDR), Oxford Road, and The Hexagon.

The main service times are 10:30 and 18:30 on Sunday. MP3-format files of the sermons are available on the church's web site, and Sunday services are streamed live from the web site.

The church is affiliated to Affinity and the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches.

The current pastors are Basil Howlett and James Muldoon. Jamie Cater joined as assistant pastor in April 2007. The current apprentices are Adam Goddard and Hilary Pethick. Jonathan Stephen left the church on 16 July 2006 to take up the position of principal of the Wales Evangelical School of Theology in September 2006.
