All of us at Crich Baptist Church, in Derbyshire are pleased that you have called in on us, thank you for dropping by. We hope that you will be able to stay awhile and fellowship with us.

Pastor Chris Hand

Crich Baptist Church is an Independent Reformed Baptist Church, and we believe ourselves to be a warm and welcoming evangelical church, that is a Christ centred, Bible believing, Gospel preaching church with a compassionate heart. We are Reformed in doctrine, teaching that salvation is by grace alone, in Christ alone, through faith alone,  We seek to lovingly commend Christ to all, having a heart for Mission, locally, and supporting missionaries in several different countries. We endeavour to “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints”! (Jude v3)

Chris Hand, our pastor, has been with us since December 2000, prior to that he had been the pastor of a church in Lewisham, South London.

What must I do to be saved? – The most important question.

23rd September @ 3pm - Church History Lecture - 'John Foxe and The Book of Martyrs'

We are pleased to once again welcome our good friend Dr. Nick Needham, who, in his own informative and compelling style will speak to us about “John Foxe and The Book of Martyrs”. You may have heard something about this famous book, but know little of John Foxe himself. Dr. Needham will no doubt help us understand more about the man as well as the book. The meeting begins at 3pm, and a buffet tea will be served following the lecture. Please plan to come, you will be most welcome.

Samuel Rutherford (1600-1661)

Samuel Rutherford

Click the link Samuel Rutherford (1600-1661) to read a new article by Chris Clarke, a Deacon at Crich Baptist Church. Samuel Rutherford, was a Scottish Presbyterian pastor at his beloved Anwoth, a parish in Kirkudbrightshire, Scotland. Although more well-known because of his series of letters, there is much more to this Godly man’s life, and Chris Clarke tells us of his contributions to the cause of Christ, and the battles he faced for the things he held dear.

Congregational Hymn Singing

Last tear I came across a Youtube Channel authored by Martijn De Groot, a Dutch Calvinist, as he calls himself. Martijn’s site contains congregational singing of hymns from The Metropolitan Tabernacle (London), Grace Community Church (Sun Valley, California) and Westminster Chapel (London) during the pastorate of Martyn Lloyd-Jones. As we do not record the hymn singing of our hymns at Crich Baptist Church, we offer this video, partly as an introduction to what Martijn has available, but also to show the type of hymns that we also sing.

From Prodigal to Penitent – A Personal Testimony

Free Sermons – Video

Here we begin a series on the Book of Revelation, not intended to be the source of fruitless speculation, it gives us indications of conditions during the End Times, the judgement to come, and The Lord Jesus Christ’s second coming. There is a sense of urgency in the Book. This first sermon is very much an introduction, but along the way we will deal with the various ‘schemes’ into which well-meaning Christians have subscribed. So whether you describe yourself as a PreMillennialist, a PostMillennialist, an Amillennialist, or even a Dispensationalist, we trust that you will find this series of interest to you.
