We often work together with other local churches that are members of "Churches Together in Hitchin", (which is part of Churches Together in Britain and Ireland).
In particular, we hold occasional joint services with Walsworth Road Baptist Church, which, like Tilehouse Street, is also a member of the Central Baptist Association and the Baptist Union of Great Britain.
