Welcome

Welcome to the website of Boston Hub – We’re Glad You’re Here! And we hope that you learn a little more about us and maybe even come for a visit to one of our services. If you are not attached to any church, we welcome you to join us; you never know if we will be the church family that God wants you to call home.

Boston Road Baptist Church is a small friendly church located in a large town in south London, England, about 9.5 miles (15.3 km) south of Charing Cross (Mayor of London 2008) and site within the West Thornton ward/electoral division, in the constituency of Croydon North.

We desire to serve Christ by serving the families of Boston Road and the surrounding areas. ​We want to see families come to Jesus Christ and grow in their relationship with Christ. So if you are looking for a small church with a “family” atmosphere, we might be the church you can call home.

We welcome everyone, whether you are already a believer or searching for or want to explore faith. At Boston Road, we believe that when Jesus enters your life, he changes everything. As a result, we share God’s love and extend a hand of fellowship to all.

Our vision is to see people come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour and grow through attending  Sunday services, prayer meetings and exploring the Bible. In this way, you meet the Lord, and “He transforms You.”

Why not visit us on a Sunday; our services are lively, and you will be welcome.

Services

Prayer meeting – 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM

Your family and friends can attend our Google Meet prayer meeting every Wednesday. If you want to join us to pray, please request the link through our contact page.

Sunday Service – 10:30 AM

We enjoy singing worship songs together each Sunday morning using YouTube video music. Our small choir leads the worship, and sometimes soloists present special music during the services.

Our worship services are designed to focus on what we value the most – the expository teaching and preaching of the Bible. Understanding and knowing the Bible is essential to a Christian’s spiritual well-being. Pastor Josiah Anyinsah brings refreshing preaching that is focused on explaining the Scriptures.

Church History

Photograph of the outside of the building taken in 2007 by Roger Perriss

The new brick building was built in 1903, now known as Boston Road Baptist Church, West Croydon. In 2010, the back rooms of the church hall were converted into a flat to house their full-time minister.

The data from the church offers little on the membership at the church. The data collected were from members, some of whom have been attending the church since 1993. Data from two significant members aged 74 and 94 were checked and examined with church activities through the lens of old photos from the 1980s. They reported that the church had many members, but its membership declined significantly over the years.

In April 1980, aged 102, Stanley and Boston Road Mission Chapel 1878 were made a church in its own right, and there were about two hundred people at the inauguration.

The Boston Road mission is a Baptist mission associated with the West Croydon Baptist Church, Whitehorse Road (Spurgeon’s Tabernacle). And it is one of the remaining two missions of the West Croydon Baptist Church. The other is the Joynson Memorial Hall on Pawsons Road, Thornton Health.

On the 16th of June 1878, Mr Denman, a Sunday school teacher at the West Croydon Chaple, now West Croydon Baptist Church, approached the elders to plan a church at Stanley Road North and Lower York Road, now Boston Road and Wortley Road.

It was initially named Stanley and Boston Road Mission Chapel. The early building was a Tin Tab structure erected on the corner of Stanley Rd North and Lower York Rd in 1880 (Perriss, 2011).

Stanley and Boston Road Mission Chapel 1880

The original building of Boston Road Mission in Croydon was an iron building of the type known as “Tin Tabs” bought from the Wesleyans at Tooting for £330 and erected on the corner of Boston Road (then known as Stanley Rd North) & Wortley Rd (then known as Lower York Rd) in 1880 and first known as Stanley and Boston Road Mission Chapel. Mr Denman, sometime in 1879, was appointed superintendent of both the work at Lower York and Joynson Memorial Hall.
