East Finchley Baptist Church is an independent
evangelical church - independent in that we are not part of a
denominational organisation, and 'evangelical' in terms of our
belief in the truth of the doctrines of the Bible. East Finchley
Baptist is a member of the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical
Churches (FIEC).
As a church we aim to help people become mature
followers of Christ. To this end there are 3 basic purposes at the
heart of all we do:-
To Grow/Maturity - we want
people to be growing in their faith, becoming faithful & mature
followers of Jesus. We believe that the Bible is God's word and so
we take its message seriously. In our meetings & small groups
we encourage one another to understand what God is saying to us,
& apply it to our lives so that we can be built up as disciples
of Jesus.
To Serve/Ministry - we believe
that we're called to be involved in God's work everywhere. This
means helping & serving one another in the church with our
gifts and abilities, as well as serving God in our work. We also
seek to send out & support people who are serving God in this
country & overseas.
To Reach Out/Mission - we
believe that the good news of Jesus is for everyone. That means we
work actively to share what we have discovered with others.
We meet for our Sunday church gathering at
10.30am on a Sunday morning each week, with activities for
children, and young people during the service. Central to our time
together is the opportunity to hear from God's words to us in the
Bible, and to understand how God would want us to live for Him in
all the different situations and circumstances of our lives. Our
Sunday morning gathering includes time for singing, as well as
prayer, and church family news.
On the first Sunday of the month we have a
church lunch after our morning service. This often includes an
opportunity for group discussion looking at the Bible and our
contemporary lives, & issues. On the 3rd Sunday of
the month we have a discussion focus from 5.45 - 7pm at the
church.
