Who we are
A place that can be called home
We are a vibrant, family-orientated church with a heart towards making a visible difference in the community around us.
Our history
Here since the late 1700s
Four Oaks Baptist Church has been the heart and soul of the Little Sutton area since the late 1700s.
Since 2017 the church has been led by the Reverend Phil Wilks, who has brought the church into the heart of the community through mission-filled outreach and discipleship.
Our vision
We are a community of Spirit-filled followers of Jesus Christ, rooted in God's word, attempting to do life together in a manner that is fragrant to all, in order to visibly make a difference in the families and communities that God has placed us in.
We believe that Jesus came to mend the broken hearted, to proclaim God's victory over depression and oppression, and to welcome all who would respond into the Royal Family of God himself - and that He has called us, His Church, to join Him in this adventure through both word and deed until Christ returns.

Safeguarding
Everyone's responsibility
At FOBC we take safeguarding very seriously - all volunteers are required to undertake level 2 or level 3 safeguarding training depending on the role that they hold. We follow a safer recruiting policy and ensure that everyone has the required DBS check.
We encourage all our church to read and understand the safeguarding policy, and to report any concerns to the designated person for safeguarding or the person on the leadership team with responsibility for safeguarding.
