If you’ve wandered down Queen Street recently, you’ll have spotted the hive of activity around Wymondham Baptist Church.

The steel frame for the new extension is now firmly in place, giving a real sense of the shape and scale of what’s coming. The next major milestone will be the installation of the glasswork in the coming weeks, and with each stage, the project becomes more recognisable and more exciting for everyone watching it take shape.

The new extension will create much?needed space, improve accessibility, and provide modern, environmentally friendly facilities for both the church fellowship and the wider community. This development isn’t just about expanding a building — it’s about expanding welcome and connection, and sharing Jesus with our local community. It is due for completion in the Spring of this year.

The new space will host the church’s Roots Community Café and Home from Home – Warm Space, as well as a variety of other support groups and services. Thanks to the generosity of many individual donors, together with the support from 13 funders including the Greater Norwich Growth Board, the work is progressing well. We anticipate the work will be complete in the Spring, so we can reopen to the local community in May 2026.

While the extension takes shape, the church fellowship is taking the opportunity to refresh and upgrade the rest of the premises. This work is largely being done by volunteers who are working tirelessly to enhance the whole premises for the glory of God.

The vision of Wymondham Baptist Church is to be ‘an authentic church with a place for everyone', and we are looking forward to opening the new extension and being able to support a wide range of local activities and services in months and years to come as we seek to serve God in Wymondham and the surrounding area.
