Faith Baptist Church

General information

Faith Baptist Church was founded over 30 years ago under the ministry of Dr Gerry Webber, a Church-planting missionary to whom we owe a lasting debt for establishing Faith on sound principles as an independent, Bible-based Baptist church that recognizes Christ only as her head.

Like all local churches, FBC has developed her own character over the years, although she is still the same friendly place, and the Bible still has an absolutely central place in the worship of God. We are still ardent Baptists, which is to say we believe that the Bible teaches believer's baptism, and that only believers, scripturally baptized by immersion can be church members. Also, as historic Baptists, we believe that the pastor and deacons of the local church are directly accountable to the congregation, who take an active part in governing the church.

We endeavour with God's help to maintain a teaching ministry at Faith which is a true a reflection of His Word. Accountability for our sins, and the free offer of the Gospel to all men is emphasized while the unconditional sovereignty of His grace is not compromised. Regarding Bible prophecy, the teaching here generally follows the Historic Pre-Millennial approach. While thanking God for the genuine gifts of the Holy Spirit, we believe that present-day Charismatic mysticism has no basis in scripture.
