Spreydon Baptist Church

Spreydon Baptist Church:

Aspiring to be a redemptive community ...

... that seeks to be a place where the broken can find wholeness, the poor can find empowerment, the sick can find healing, the needy can find support, the young can find hope and the lost can find salvation.

Sharing the love of Christ in the world by word, sign and deed.
We believe that mission is the supreme calling of the church, and that the church is intended to be an agent and instrument of the Kingdom of God. We are called to bear witness to the gospel of Christ by:

  • Word - We value the proclaiming, teaching and study of the Bible
  • Sign - We value the empowering work of the Spirit and the gifts and inspiration He gives us.
  • Deed - We value the deeds of the Kingdom expressed especially to the poor and needy both here and around the world.

So that unbelieving people become lifelong followers of Jesus Christ.

The goal in what we are doing is to help move people from unbelief into a life long adventure of following Jesus Christ within a community of faith that seeks to live for the Kingdom of God.
