Who Let The Dads Out? is a ‘catalyst outreach’… builds relationships with fathers and their children and off ers support, both practical and spiritual.
Revd Chris Duff ett, former president of the Baptist Union of Great Britain
Our Who Let The Dads Out? ministry is a trust and faith event – we do not know who will come, we do not know what numbers for bacon rolls, but we know that God is with us and that the monthly Saturday mornings are important to dads, children and team.

It was the fi rst thing I did with both my kids on my own… it feels like a safe environment and I knew others would help out if I needed it. Nice to be around others that can empathise with you!
