The Sidewalk

The youth work at Ruislip Baptist Church is open to any young person who wishes to attend.

The Sidewalk is a facility for the youth work at Ruislip Baptist Church. It provides a venue for a variety of Christian Youth Work opportunites to take place. Pray for us as we seek to provide a lively and fun environment in which young people can encounter God and grow in their faith.

The entrance is located on Manor Way and its blue!

We are very grateful for this money which has enabled us to buy some equipment that we would not be able to have otherwise. it has enabled us to provide a better service to the many youg people whole are involved with the youthwork at RBC.

Here is a photo of the Mayor Shirley Harper-O'Neil, Councillor Douglas Mills, and our Youth Minister Graham Sumbler in the Sidewalk with some of the equipment we were able to buy with the grant.

FUSE meets on a Sunday and Thursday.
