ABOUT US
We are a lively, family and community orientated congregation in Salisbury. Enjoying a wide age range across our membership, our activities reflect the cross-section of people involved in the life of our church.
10.30am Sunday Morning Worship is our main focus, with a strong preaching tradition and uplifting worship music. The younger members of our congregation attend their King's Kids group and a crèche for very youngest. We also have a prayer team available after each service.
After each service we enjoy a chance to chat over a cuppa and some biscuits too.
Midweek there are bi-weekly connect groups, enabling further bible study and fellowship. Plus we have regular prayer meetings for our church, our community and the world.
What we believe
We are members of: The Baptist Union of Great Britain, Southern Counties Baptist Association, Evangelical Alliance and Salisbury Churches Together.
We believe in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
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'.
We are passionate about sharing our faith outwardly to the community around us so call our Church 'Christ in the Community'.
