A special history is being produced spanning across the two centuries.

The events co-ordinator, Chris Clark (71), said: “We’re all feeling very excited and hoping that we’ll get lots of people from local communities to come and see the displays and what the church does.”

The church also hosts a coffee shop, craft circle, toddlers group and youth services – as well as holding a night shelter for the homeless and working with church members working on overseas missions.

As part of the anniversary celebrations, Mansfield Baptist Church is trying to re-unite with many people who have had connections with it.
