Worthing Baptist Church
Encountering
the love of God revealed in
Jesus Christ.
Growing in our expression
of love towards
God, self, neighbour and the whole of creation with the help of the Holy Spirit.
That's what we're all about.
You're Welcome
Worthing Baptist Church welcomes people regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, physical ability, learning difficulties, personal circumstances or mental health needs. Our Ministers, Mike and Peter, also endorse ‘Affirm’, a UK network of Baptist Christians working together for LGBT+ inclusion. Whilst many members are also affirming, Worthing Baptist Church respects those within our church family who lovingly hold a different understanding.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
'I have felt I've found my home. I feel safe here. It's my happy place.' - Leigh
Simple
We like to keep it simple and not overcomplicate church. We take our cue from Jesus who kept the main things, the main things (e.g. love, kindness, generosity, forgiveness).

Diverse
We are a diverse church. We love this, and we celebrate that we're all made in God's image! Anyone is welcome to join us, whoever they are. We are comfortable with differences of opinion and we don't fall out over 'disputable matters'.


Real
We want to be real in our relationships with each other, with visitors, with people in our daily lives...and with God. We want to be honest about who we are, rather than pretending to be something we are not. This means being open with each other about challenges in life, doubts and uncertainties.


Adventurous
We are risk-takers who don't let the fear of failure keep us static. We see our journey together as an adventure. We want to go wherever we discern God to be leading us, knowing that this requires stepping out in faith continually.


Fun
We love to have fun together. From the gospels, we see that Jesus was someone people wanted to spend time with and have fun with! We really value a sense of humour and try not to take ourselves too seriously.


Different
We respect the fact every church is different and that there is no one way of being church. In many ways, we feel that God is uniquely shaping us. We're different in our simplicity, lack of busyness, down to earth style and in various other ways. You could say that we aren't very 'churchy'.
At the moment our services are online only. You can find us each Sunday morning at 10:30 am on our Facebook page and our YouTube channel and you can access previous services here.
