1992  The Church was founded by a small band of Bible-believing Christians. 
The 16 founder members initially met in rented premises. During the first year
 the church was accepted as a member of the Baptist Union of Great Britain.

1996  We were able, with help from various Baptist funding facilities, to purchase 
our own building.

1999  The next major step of faith was to seek the Lord with regard to calling our 
own Minister. After much prayer, and on the clear direction of the Lord, the Church 
called Rev. Malcolm Thorpe and he accepted the Pastorate on a half stipendiary basis.

2003/4  As a result of faithful giving, we no longer required Home Mission support.

2005/6  Due to continued generous giving, we were able to complete repayment of 
existing loans and, with new loans, undertake a major extension to the premises.

2007  With the retirement of Pastor Malcolm, the Lord called a long-standing member 
and serving Deacon, John Wood, to be our Pastor.

2008  Pastor John was accepted for Accreditation with the Baptist Union of Great 
Britain, and commenced part-time studies at Bristol Baptist College, while continuing 
to serve as part-time Pastor.

2009  March The worship area was enlarged, to include a platform and baptistry.

2011  September 17th the Ordination and Induction of John Samuel Wood as our 
full time Pastor.

2014  Pastor John Wood served until the end of 2014.

2018  On the 5th April we converted from an unincorporated organisation to an 
Incorporated organisation; NEWPORT BAPTIST CHURCH SHROPSHIRE 
Registered Charity No: 1176587.
7th April Induction of Revd. David Middleton as our full time Pastor.
