Our History

The roots of Hoddesdon Baptist Church date back to 1897, initially meeting in The Three Cups Coffee Tavern Hall (shown below) in town. The church was then formally received into the Baptist Union in 1901. Soon after, in 1909 the current site was acquired and plans began to construct a church building and a school. The main sanctuary was opened in 1917 and the additional halls added in 1967.

In November 2009 Rev’d Chris Johnson was inducted as Pastor to begin a new chapter in the life of the church.
