Growing in Grace Together
Church Life
The Christian life was never meant to be lived alone. As a church family, we seek to grow together through God’s Word, prayer, fellowship and service, encouraging one another in our walk with Christ.
Life Together as a Church
Our church life is simple and centred on the things God has given His people to help us grow: His Word, prayer, fellowship, worship and service. Alongside our Sunday gathering, there are regular opportunities to learn together, pray for one another, enjoy fellowship and serve others.
LEARN TOGETHER
Bible Study
Our midweek Bible studies provide an opportunity to work through Scripture more carefully, ask questions and discuss how God’s Word applies to everyday life.
Studies are normally held on Wednesdays at 2:00pm at the hall and 7:15pm online.
SEEK THE LORD
Prayer
Prayer is an important part of both our individual lives and our life together as a church.
We pray during our services, Bible studies and regular times of corporate prayer.
We also seek to faithfully pray for one another, our community, missionaries and the wider work of the gospel.
ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER
Fellowship
Fellowship is more than simply spending time together. It is part of encouraging one another in Christ, bearing one another’s burdens and sharing life as a church family.
Morning teas, fellowship lunches, informal gatherings and other activities give us time to know and encourage one another.
GROWING IN GOD'S WORD
Children
Children are an important part of our church family and are welcome in our services.
We want them to learn the Scriptures and come to know the Lord Jesus Christ.
Junior Church is available for pre-school and primary-age children during the Sunday morning message, with Bible teaching, singing and activities.
Making Christ Known
Missions & Outreach
We desire to make the gospel known in our own community and to support its proclamation further afield.
As a church we support missionaries and gospel ministries, pray for their work, and seek opportunities to share the good news of Jesus Christ locally.
FOLLOWING CHRIST
Believer’s Baptism
Baptism is an important step of obedience for those who have personally trusted in Jesus Christ as their Saviour.
We practise baptism by immersion, following the New Testament pattern.
Baptism does not save us or add anything to the finished work of Christ. Rather, it is a public testimony of a believer’s faith in Him and a picture of our identification with His death, burial and resurrection.
“Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death...”
At Bass Coast Baptist Church, baptism normally follows a period of attending the church and an opportunity to speak with the pastor about your faith in Christ.
Before someone is baptised, we want to be satisfied that they understand the gospel and can give a clear personal testimony of salvation.
If you are a believer and have questions about baptism, we would be glad to talk with you.

Serving Christ Together
Church life is not about filling a calendar with activities. Our desire is that everything we do helps us know Christ, grow through His Word, love one another and make the gospel known.
There are many simple ways to be involved as the Lord enables: praying, welcoming others, helping practically, serving during our gatherings, supporting gospel work and encouraging one another in the faith.
We’d love to welcome you
The best way to get to know our church is to join us on a Sunday morning.
