What's a
Church?
A "church" according to the Bible,
is not a building, it is group of people who have come to believe in the
Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. The first Christians met in
one another's homes and anywhere else that was convenient. Spiritual worship
should not depend upon our surroundings, but upon our relationship with
God.
We invite any and all to join with us in worship
each Sunday at 11 a.m.in the Scout & Guide HQ Hall, Sawmills Lane, off
Weymouth Avenue, Dorchester (near TESCO's). The form of worship is simple.
We sit for prayer that is led by the Minister or Elder. We stand to sing
hymns or spiritual songs. We sit to hear the Word of God preached. Just
like Jesus, we wear no robes and do not stand on ceremony! |
|
We believe in the "priesthood of all
believers". We do not believe in a special group of men (or women)
who are "priests". We believe that some men are called to preach
the Gospel and to be ministers and teachers of the Word of God and these,
together with Elders and Deacons are set apart for this ministry by each
local church.
What's New
The Grace Baptist Church meeting now in Dorchester
is still a new Church, which covenanted together as a church at Cerne Abbas
in May 2001.
It is just a group of ordinary people, who believe the Bible and have found
in Jesus Christ a real friend - someone who gives us peace with God, strength
for daily living and hope for the future.
Jesus said "Behold, I make all
things new!" That is our experience. |
