History
Old building

St. John’s Wood Road Baptist Church began meeting in the mid-1820s. It was started by a group of 30 or so Christians, and in its first 50 years grew to over 400 members. In the early 1900s the church moved to the site it now occupies, and began meeting in the present building in 1987. In the first part of the 1900s the church was very active in missionary endeavour, sending missionaries to India in particular. However, from the Second World War the number of people meeting together in the church declined as was the case at the time in many other churches in London.[1]

Present day

Today, the church is a small congregation of just over 50 people who attend the Sunday morning meeting each week.[1] There are also mid-week Bible study groups.[1]

gollark: They can probably be viewbombed regardless of well-programmed-ness, unless they have rate limits.
gollark: Apparently quite a few people there ended up just trying to bodge together PHP code from examples they'd seen, which is probably not a good foundation for reliable code and stuff. I assume that most *running* hatcheries are OK, though.
gollark: I'm reading "Coding a Hatchery" and it's slightly worrying.
gollark: Because I'm bored.
