We are a growing church made up of people from all walks of life and from different backgrounds and cultures. Our name reflects our belief that for all of us, whoever we are, the door to God is wide open. It’s an open gate to God’s love, to relationship with Him and with one another. The door is open to our communities and our world: all of God’s creation and all of His children.
Bognor Regis Baptist Church, known as Opengate Church, is a member of the Baptist Union of Great Britain. The church was established in 1902 and moved to its existing site in 1964. Our church has a strong family focus and our objective is to make a positive difference to the lives of those who live in the Bognor area.
In addition to those who regularly attend on a Sunday we have contact with over 200 families, including those recently moved from Eastern Europe, and offer them Toddler groups, a dedicated nursery, and midweek activities. Our marriage and parenting courses are open to anyone and we offer pastoral support to people who are connected with the church in any way.
