About Us

This house was near the old wooden sea-wall, and is now non-existant. It was used by the Baptists for some time and was later a hospital for workers at Hodbarrow mine. A small congregation was gathered together and a Sunday school started. A small chapel was built at Haverigg at what is now known as Caines Cottages. This was opened in 1869 and the following year the first two converts were baptised in Haverigg beck. Five years later the present premises in Crown St were opened, and there the members of the Baptist community in Millom and district have worshipped ever since.

As a Baptist Church, we naturally support the work of BMS World Mission.

Two former members of Millom Baptist Church are currently involved in mission overseas.

Helen Fazakerley, along with her husband, Megumi, and three children, has been serving with SIM in Malawi since 1993. They are based in the town of Blantyre, where Megumi is a lecturer at the Evangelical Bible College of Malawi. Helen helps run a clinic at the college, but her main work is running a Home Based Care scheme for people with HIV/AIDS. In the last two years, another family from our church have done two periods of short term missionary work alongside Helen and Megumi.

The Church also seeks to develop long-term contacts with other people in the local area. We have been involved in a number of mission initiatives, some in collaboration with other Churches.
