What we do
SittingbSittingbourne Baptist Church teaches the relevance of the Bible in all areas of our lives today and its authority in all matters of faith and daily living.
We believe and teach that God can change our lives, that, as we trust in God and seek His daily help, he can and does affect our marriages, our attitudes, our relationships, our daily lives and our eternal destiny.
We believe that God is a God of hope and not despair and that all people, regardless of religious background or inclination, can experience Him personally through faith in Jesus Christ
Baptisms
As a Baptist church, we take baptisms seriously and subscribe to ‘believer’s baptism’, which means we require a person to have an already existing faith in Jesus, to believe that he is the son of God and their Lord and Saviour, before being baptised.
Our church has it’s own baptistry.
Communion
We are a Baptist church that practices Holy Communion, as commanded by our Lord Jesus in Matthew ch26, Luke ch22 and 1 Corinthians ch 11.
We observe this communion meal twice monthly. On the first week of the month during the evening service, and then on the third week of the month, during the morning service.
