Carey Baptist Church

Carey Baptist Church is a Protestant church in central Reading located on Carey Street near the Inner Distribution Road and Oxford Road. The building has served the local Protestant community as a place of worship since 1867.

The church was founded in 1867 and named after William Carey, an English missionary who conducted extensive work in India from 1793. His missionary legacy inspired the church's name and its focus on global outreach from the beginning.

The congregation maintains strong connections to mission work around the world and sends representatives to communities in India and the Amazon region of Peru. This global focus shapes how the church community sees itself and its purpose.

Sunday worship takes place at 10:30 AM and 6:00 PM, with recorded services available on the church website, Facebook, and YouTube for those who cannot attend in person. Visitors can check these online platforms beforehand to stay informed about service times and events.

In the 1970s, church members started Prospects, an organization supporting adults with learning disabilities, which later became part of the Livability Group. This initiative shows how the church turned its values into practical help for vulnerable people in the community.
