About us

We’re a Christian church in West Beach, Adelaide, that loves to introduce people to Jesus and help them find ‘life to the full’ in him.

There are many different types of Christian church, ours is Baptist, which simply means:

We’re just a group of local Christians learning to follow and represent Jesus together. We’re not an outlet of a larger organisation and receive no external funding. (We are associated with about 80 like-minded churches through Baptist Churches SA & NT.)

We take the bible seriously and have it as our standard and guide in knowing God and serving him together. The Bible shows how Jesus is Lord of all, head of the church, and on a mission to restore all things.

We all have a part to play. Like one body with different parts, we each have a God-given contribution to make. Pastors and leaders coach us, but we’re all called to be ministers who share God’s love in all we do.

God invites us but doesn’t impose himself on us. No-one is ‘automatically’ Christian just by belonging to a particular family or nation. He gives each of us the dignity of saying our own ‘yes’ to him, in the ceremony of baptism.

We are focused on becoming more and more:
