Counterslip Baptist Church was founded in 1804 when 49 members of the declining Pithay Church left and decided to set up a church of their own at Tailor's Court. The first service was held on 12 November of that year. By 1810 numbers at the church had risen to around 70. It was then that the church moved to Counterslip, near Bristol Bridge, and acquired the name that it is still known by today. The church moved to its present site on Wells Road in 1957.
