Ashburton Baptist Church

About

We are delighted to open our doors to all people, regardless of race, religion, political views, gender identity, marital status, sexual orientation, employment status, ability, or age.

This is a place where everyone is valued for who they are and welcomed into all aspects of church life.  ABC has enjoyed the contributions of LGBTQIA+ individuals on the church’s leadership team (diaconate), staff team and in the pulpit.

In our community, we walk together on a journey of faith, with Jesus Christ as our model and the Spirit of God as our guide. We believe that faith is not a solitary path but one best travelled in the company of others. Here, you will find a space to explore your beliefs, ask questions, and grow in your spiritual life alongside others who are also seeking deeper meaning and connection.

Our journey is one of deepening our response to God, and nurturing caring relationships with others, ourselves, and the created world. We aim to create a supportive environment where each person can discover their unique gifts and path, and where we can all encourage one another to live out our faith in tangible, meaningful ways.

Whether you are new to faith, returning after some time away, or looking for a new church community to call home, we welcome you. We invite you to share in the life of our community, where every person’s journey is honoured, and where we grow together in love, grace, and understanding.

 

We are registered as: Charity.
