Nansen Road Baptist Church
IP3 9HN Nansen Rd Ipswich
WHO ARE WE?
We are a group of people from different walks of life who know, love and serve Jesus. Our church building is situated on the racecourse area of the Nacton housing estate in Ipswich. We are here to reach out to the community, to support and help everyone with love and build relationships with those we meet. It is not the building that is the church but the people who meet there.
WHAT IS A BAPTIST CHURCH?
You will find Baptist churches in almost every country in the world, as part of the world-wide Christian church, Baptists form one of the largest families of faith.
For Baptists, the concept of a family is important. The church is not so much a particular place or building, but rather a family of believers, committed to Jesus Christ, to one another and to the service of God in the world.
In the Baptist family everybody is equal, for everybody has a part to play in the service of God.
WHAT WE BELIEVE.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He came into the world to die on the cross to forgive our sins. He rose from the dead to give us new life.
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, and is the basis for our lives as Christians. The life of the church reflects our trust in the complete truthfulness of the Bible, in a range of different ways, and the Bible is always central to our worship services.
We believe in baptism by full immersion, of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ. Those who accept Jesus Christ as their saviour can ask to be baptised.
We believe that as people of God we are representatives for him in the world. It is our mission, hope and prayer that we can serve and honour him as we show the love of Jesus to all.
We believe the church is not the building but it is the people who do God's will. Church is about relationships, friendships, and supporting one another and sharing the Love of Jesus.
