Willingham Baptist Church is an outgoing and evangelistically minded Church set in a rural village, lying twelve miles north-west of Cambridge. The Church was founded in 1875 as the Baptist Tabernacle, and while it is now a smaller congregation, it remains a strong part of the local community.
The Church has seen a split, which occurred four years ago, before their current Minister Kwaku Efah, was called to the Church. In his ministry, Kwaku has a strong evangelistic focus, and he has led the way in growing the Church. This is now resulting in new growth and provides encouragement and a new drive for the fellowship. They have seen new families attending with ten children, and the re-establishment of a thriving Sunday School.
Different activities happen throughout the week, and Church life is busy. They are currently underway with a local ecumenical mission drive to raise awareness of the Gospel of Christ prior to Easter. Each Church will celebrate their separate events, as well as also attending each other’s. An opening event has already been held at the Anglican Church, St. Andrews, in Oakington.
Hopefully, the new members will eventually be encouraged to enter leadership roles, as an elderly congregation has worked hard over the years to sustain and guide the life and direction of the Church. Demographics are changing in the area, and this is now reflected in the fellowship, with more Black and Indian people attending.
