I started coming to Waltham Abbey with my husband Derek about 15 years ago. We felt welcomed and part of the family in no time and felt the Lord could use us here.
I am the secretary and support the treasurer role as well and try to keep activities for everyone running throughout the year. More

Christine Brooker
Elder
I was born in Waltham Abbey and lived in the town until the age of 28.
My parents attended the Baptist Church in Waltham Abbey and my father ran a Gospel Hall at Upshire, so my childhood memories are centred around those two churches.
I gave my life to Jesus when I was 9 years old, and was baptised by immersion at the age 17 years. More
Charlene Boatswain
Deacon
I’ve been attending WABC since I moved to the area with my family in 2012. I grew up going to church and have always had a strong faith in God and have felt how much he has protected and blessed my life.
I agree with the saying it takes a village to raise a child and being part of the church community has definitely been a supportive place. More
Alison Brooker
Elder
The Baptist church was incredibly welcoming from the first time I visited, four years ago and it quickly became my regular church; with a caring community and engaging worship style. I gradually became involved in service leadership and I am looking forward to developing my supporting role for the church family. More
