Buckingham Baptist Chapel is a Gothic Revival [1] church in Queens Road, Clifton, Bristol, England.
The church was built in 1842 to the designs of Richard Shackleton Pope. It is one of the earliest Baptist chapels built in this style. [1]
The chapel describes itself as 'independent evangelical baptist'. [2] It is a former member of the Baptist Union, which it left on 7 April 1972 (hence 'independent') due to a membership decision based on 'lack of clarity in its teachings on the deity of Christ'. [3]
The church has been led by Pastor Oliver Gross since 1 December 2015. The church currently has 1 other elder and 5 deacons, with varying roles in the upkeep of the church and its ministries, in addition to an associate member involved mainly in preaching and outreach ministries, particularly with Romanian and Roma communities in Bristol. [4]
The church has several main meetings per week; two Sunday services [5] and a midweek prayer and Bible study meeting on Wednesdays. [6] Other meetings include a prayer meeting on the first Friday evening of each month, a ladies' meeting every other Tuesday [7] and a men's breakfast Bible study held in homes the second Saturday most months. [8]
The church has several outreach ministries such as a Sunday school held during the morning service every week, Tiger Tots (a parent and toddler group) held on Fridays during school term-time, [9] a club for children aged 9 to 12 called Lighthouse that is also held on term-time Fridays [10] and a young adults group held roughly every other Saturday evening. [11]
There are many yearly events run by the church, such as a summer holiday Bible club, [12] Christmas carol singing and a Bonfire Night party held at the home of some church members. [13]
It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building. [1]

A church service is a formalized period of Christian communal worship, often held in a church building. It often but not exclusively occurs on Sunday, or Saturday in the case of those churches practicing seventh-day Sabbatarianism. The church service is the gathering together of Christians to be taught the "Word of God" and encouraged in their faith. Technically, the "church" in "church service" refers to the gathering of the faithful rather than to the building in which it takes place. In most Christian traditions, services are presided over by clergy wherever possible. Styles of service vary greatly, from the Anglican, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Reformed, Roman Catholic, and Lutheran traditions of liturgical worship to informal worship characterized by certain free church traditions, common among Methodists and Baptists, that often combine worship with teaching for the believers, which may also have an evangelistic component appealing to backsliders and the non-Christians in the congregation. Quakers and some other groups have no formal outline to their services, but allow the worship to develop as the participants present feel moved. Most Christian denominations hold church services on the Lord's Day ; a number of traditions have mid-week Wednesday evening services as well. In some Christian denominations, church services are held daily, with these including those in which the seven canonical hours are prayed, as well as the offering of the Mass, among other forms of worship. In addition to this, many Christians attend services on holy days such as Christmas, Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, Ascension Thursday, among others depending on the Christian denomination.
