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.
