Newcastle Baptist Church (Staffordshire) is a lively, growing, and committed fellowship situated in the residential area of Clayton, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire.

At the heart of NBC is a diverse family of approximately 200 adults, children and young people, ranging in age from under one to over 95. We are a Bible-believing community seeking to be Spirit-led, that has seen significant evolution in recent years - moving from a predominantly white British congregation to a vibrant, multicultural family.

We share a deep commitment to our  front lines  - witnessing to Jesus in our workplaces, families, and neighbourhoods. From active youth work and children’s work on Sundays, to our community-focused  Warm Welcome Space  and  Café Link , we strive to be a church that not only gathers for Sunday worship but also makes a difference in our weekday lives.
