Welcome to Our Website
If you are in our vicinity and are interested in a God-honouring church, as well as knowing what the Bible has to say and how it applies to your life, join with us for our services as we worship, fellowship and study God’s word together. We want to minister to you and your family. Give us the joy of knowing you personally and the opportunity to grow with you spiritually.
Founded in 1972, Brackenhurst Baptist Church is an independent Baptist Church. We exist to glorify God by making disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ in all nations. Committed to making known the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and proclaiming his word in our community and the world, our prayer is that men, women, and children from every walk of life will see the Saviour in all that we do. We want all who attend to learn of the salvation and of the hope that is found in Jesus Christ.
Here you will find that God and his word are taken seriously as the key to true life and joy—now and eternally. We desire to be a place where God’s grace and presence are tangible, and where the Holy Spirit is powerfully working to transform believers and convert unbelievers through the preaching and teaching of the word.
Brackenhurst Baptist Church ministers to the individual as well as the entire family by proclaiming truth and equipping the saints to do the work of the ministry.
