History:
From this small beginning, in the near future, grow a cause which God will bless. Purley Baptist Church began formally in 1905 when Mr T Herbert Winny, a local architect, invited a small group of local friends, to meet together for worship at the home of Mr Doubell at Roke Lodge, Kenley.
The invitation expressed the desire to create a cause which God will bless. The men were visionary and a chapel was built on the existing church site in 1908 and then in 1913 the church joined Baptist Union.
