Mull Baptist Church

Mull Baptist Church is a historic place of worship situated on the hillside overlooking Bunessan village on the Isle of Mull. Constructed in 1891 from distinctive Mull granite and featuring a slate roof, the building itself holds a significant place in the island’s heritage. The church traces its roots back to the early 19th century when the first Baptists in the Ross area established a meeting house around 1823, navigating periods of early persecution before the current chapel was eventually built.

Throughout its long history, Mull Baptist Church has experienced periods of both growth and decline. Despite challenges, it was notably renovated and re-established, ensuring its continued presence and purpose within the community. Today, it serves a small but active congregation, maintaining its spiritual role while also frequently being utilized for various community activities, underscoring its importance as a local hub in Bunessan.

Services are regularly held at the church every Sunday morning at 11:00 am, welcoming residents and visitors alike. The church embodies a resilient spirit, reflecting the enduring faith and community bonds found in this part of the Isle of Mull. Its historical backdrop and ongoing commitment to its congregation and wider community make it a notable landmark in Bunessan.
