Welcome to BGBC
Welcome to Bessels Green Baptist Church, Sevenoaks.
We are a vibrant and friendly church family that meets on the outskirts of Sevenoaks, in Kent. From the youngest to the oldest, we are a group of real people, seeking to learn more about God, love more like God and to share our God with the local community.
Whether you’re completely new to church, new to the Sevenoaks area, or just haven’t been to church for a while, we’d love to meet you. Our main service is on a Sunday morning at 10am and you can be assured of a very warm welcome when you arrive.

Read more about the Kingdom of God here.
-
Knowing God loves us is the foundation of our relationship with him.
To live like Jesus is to reflect the character of Christ, and we do this by trying to live our values.
-
We do this in word and deed.
Our primary desire is to introduce people to Jesus and help them find their place in our varied church family.
-
The Kingdom of God is our focus.
The church is a resource centre for advancing the kingdom of God and not an end in itself.
We will teach the kingdom values of love, justice, forgiveness, inclusion and humility.
Our Values
By the grace of God and relying on the Holy Spirit we will…
Love generously.
Act justly.
Forgive swiftly.
