At Yardley Baptist Church we take a verse from the Bible as a theme and focus for the year ahead. For 2026 our verse is Romans 12:2.

With the key focus on the phrase 'Be transformed' that will underpin our focus throughout the year ahead. This builds on the verses we've thought about over the past couple of years:

2024: Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. Psalm 119:105 NLT

2025: Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. Matthew 11:29 MSG

As we walk closely with God along the path illuminated by His word this leads to our transformation - personally and as a church family that we pray will lead to transformation in our local community and the wider world.
