Bundaberg Baptist Church

About us

History Of Our Church

Bundaberg Baptist church was formed in 1945 to provide a Baptist witness to the community. Since then, as the church has continued to grow, we have met in various locations until moving to our present site in 1993. We have various ministries catering for all age groups including children, youth, seniors and family support.
The church has a strong commitment to blessing the community. This is expressed through various ministries including:

Alpha
Outreach to backpackers through our English Second Language program
Our annual Free Family Fun Day

Our Mission

"A family seeking to connect people with God and with each other."

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have taught you” (Matt 28:18-20 - Jesus' words).

What We Believe

At Bundaberg Baptist we believe in the importance of knowing with some clarity what we hold as truth, so below we have our statement of faith for all to see. Please take some time to read through.

Our Statement of Faith

We believe that the Bible, both Old and New Testament, is the Divinely Inspired, Inerrant Word of God.
We believe that there is one God in three Divine Persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit – All knowing, All powerful, Everywhere present at one time.
We believe that mankind is sinful and cannot know or please God except through the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ lived, died and rose again according to the Scriptures and has ascended to heaven as Ruler of the Universe .He is the Head of the Church and will return soon at the Father’s appointed time.
We believe that the Holy Spirit is present on earth to reveal to people their need of the Saviour; to regenerate them at conversion; to transform and renew the life of each believer and the life and ministry of the Church.
We believe that Satan is real and responsible for the evil in this world. He is the enemy of God and of the Children of God, but has been defeated through the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ and will soon be destroyed along with his angels.
We believe that THE CHURCH is loved by God and is the gathering of His people through whom the Spirit works to bring the Good News of salvation, healing, hope, justice and compassion to the world.

We believe that there must be repentance toward God and the confession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ in order to personally experience salvation.
We believe that baptism by immersion in water of those who have repented of their sins and believe in Jesus Christ, in response to His example and command, is a symbol of sharing in His death, burial and resurrection.
We believe that the communion of the Lord’s Supper, celebrated in response to the example and command of the Lord Jesus Christ, is a memorial, of the sacrifice of the body and blood of Jesus Christ, till He comes.
