WELCOME!

We extend a warm welcome to all who have come to

worship and fellowship with us this morning. If you are

a first time visitor with us, please take time to fill out a

“Welcome Card” located in the pew rack and place it in

the offering plate. Parents of small children (under age 3) may take them

to our Nursery, where a caring staff will supervise them.

We also have a Pre-School Program (ages 3-5) that runs

during our Worship Service in the Church Time Pre-

School Room. One of our ushers would be happy to

help you locate either one of these facilities.

Elementary School children are invited to take part in

our KidZone program which starts after the first part of

our Worship Service downstairs in the Vestry.

About Us

Bedford Baptist Church has been a part of this community

for 112 years. We seek to be a fellowship of believers

building on the principles of love, grace, and compassion as

first modeled by our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. To

that end, we offer a wide variety of programs and services

for every age group. On a larger scale, we are affiliated

with the Convention of Atlantic Baptist Churches &

Canadian Baptist Ministries.
