We intend to introduce an integrated programme of worship, fellowship and outreach to the community in line Our Vision to share the Christian Gospel with every home on the Ramridge Estate over the next 5 years. Thhis programme will include refreshed home groups with relevant study themes linked to Keith's Sunday sermons. The Groups will meet together at the church once a month to unite in prayer and worship. The men of the church will be starting a Saturday morning BIG breakfast to learn and share together about relevant issues affecting the lives of Christian men. BIG of course, stands for Biblical, Inspirational and Gastronomical. Sunday evenings from May will see a new style approach to meetings with such things as: Shared meals Worship celebration Youth showcase services Christian DVD evenings Teaching on hot topics such as The Bible and Gay lifestyles Get to know your Bible better sessions The whole programme is to help build up the people in the church to be able to share their faith at work, home and in the community.

Ramridge 50th Anniversary In October 2006, Ramridge Baptist Church became 50 years old. The Church celebrated by inviting past Ministers and Members to join in a day of celebration and thanksgiving. A special service was led by the Rev Peter Tongeman, the first Minister at Ramridge in 1956, pictured with his wife. On the Sunday afternoon of the celebration day, time was taken to remember how the church came into being by the free provision of land by Sir Herbert Janes. Initially a hut was placed on the land for people to meet for worship but a few years later, the Rev Peter Tongeman led a pioneer group of volunteers from many parts of the world, to help with the construction of the present building. Much was said about God's miraclous provision to enable the finance, materials and skills to become available at just the right time. The opportunity was taken to distribute a commemorative New Testament to every home on the Ramridge Estate, which was well received by many.
