Albany Park Baptist Church

"To know Jesus and to make Him known"

MISSION AND OTHER LINKS

 Our vision is for:

  • A church where mission is top priority.

  • A church where every member is committed to sharing the gospel and to meet the needs of people, wherever they are, as Christ commanded.

  • A church that recognises that the gospel message is unchanged but must be delivered in a way which meets the needs of each generation and culture.

  • A church that adapts its premises and programmes to meet the changing requirements of its ministry.

  • A church that knows joy by putting Jesus first, others next and ourselves last.

  • A fellowship which is alert and responsive to the needs of the community.

  • A fellowship which gives sacrificially of time and money for the Lord’s work.

We are affiliated to

Baptists believe that churches should not live in isolation from one another but rather be interdependent. Our church is linked locally with the South East Thames Group of Baptist Churches, and regionally through the London Baptist Association, for support and fellowship. We have close links with Sidcup Baptist Church and Foots Cray Baptist Church and other local evangelical churches (St Andrews and Christ Church, Sidcup) for worship and learning together.

Mission

Individual members support a range of Mission activities practically, financially and in prayer. As a church we focus our support on the following.
