into the life that lives and loves between the lines
If your heart is made restless by echoes of a song you have never heard and memories of a place you have never seen;
if you long to find timeless pathways of beauty and hope amidst a fragmenting world, you are not alone.
Join us day by day, as Jesus draws us into the dance of life.
“Open Icon Baptist Church has a glorious mix of liturgy and community. Their prayers are filled with poetry and sound like them. Their liturgies are written for and by them – at once both reverent and recognisable. Kindness and community together.”

Presenter of Poetry Unbound with On Being.
Author of In the Shelter.
“Rarely does one find a church that takes Jesus seriously. Many churches use the name of Jesus but manage to find all manner of ways to avoid the costly path of discipleship. Open Icon is one of those delightful exceptions. Here one finds the entire congregation participating in worship, there is no hierarchy, and Jesus is not just a name but the Lord of Life! That they are a small church and not full of glitz and flash is to their benefit, for flash is usually an indication of superficiality and there is nothing superficial about following Jesus here. If you visit, I know your experience will be profound, life-changing and beautiful.”
