What We Believe

images-heart-shape

Mission

We believe that Jesus is unconditional love and we want to share that in the local community through our actions and our words, by meeting people just where they are. In so doing, we hope that others will see that Jesus is Good News for themselves and they too will seek to love and follow Him. The Basis of the Baptist Union is the Declaration of Principle which we adhere to:

That our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh, is the sole and absolute authority in all matters pertaining to faith and practice, as revealed in the Holy Scriptures, and that each Church has liberty, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to interpret and administer His laws.
That Christian Baptism is the immersion in water into the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, of those who have professed repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ who 'died for our sins according to the Scriptures; was buried, and rose again the third day'.
That it is the duty of every disciple to bear personal witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to take part in the evangelisation of the world.

JESUS	GOD	SPIRIT
We believe Jesus is the Son of God. We believe He died and rose and will come again.	We Believe God is love. We believe God wants a relationship with us and does so through His Son.	We believe the Spirit lives within us when we choose to follow Jesus.

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

We very much look forward to welcoming you, whether you be local or on holiday. The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so that you know, beforehand, what to expect on a Sunday morning.

Where and When

We meet at the Church Building (details here) for our Sunday Service starting at 10:30am. There is on street parking only so you might find it helpful to arrive 10-15 minutes early to ensure you get a parking space. When you arrive, you should be greeted by someone on our Welcome Team.

Accessibility: There is wheelchair access, and a sound loop for anyone who needs it. Please let one of the Welcome Team know on your arrival and they will help you to get set up. There are disabled toilets in the main foyer.

Our Service

The service runs from 10.30am -11.45am. Apart from our All Age Service on the Third Sunday in the month, children stay with their parent or grown-up until around 11am when they go upstairs for Junior Church, led by Sarah Hamer, our Children and Families Worker (see Children and Families page). We serve tea, coffee and biscuits after the service - all refreshments are free. The messages are recorded and uploaded to this website.
