Green Baptist Church
is a member of the Baptist Union of Great Britain (BUGB), the Heart of England
Baptist Association (HEBA), and the local multi-denominational Churches Together
in Hall Green (CTHG). We
are a warm, caring and friendly church with 80+ in the fellowship.
Worship on a Sunday morning is a mixture of traditional and modern styles
with communion. Our purpose is to encourage
missionary disciples, to be good neighbours in our local community and enable
all people to experience a closer relationship with God.
We do this by holding to the ‘5 Core Values’ of the BUGB where we are
called to be: ·
A worshipping
community, offering all to God in
prayer. ·
A missionary
community, making known the
redeeming love of God. ·
A sacrificial
community, generously giving from
all that God has given us. ·
An inclusive
community, sharing the hospitality
of God’s Kingdom with all. ·
A prophetic
community, challenging powers that oppress and corrupt. We acknowledge God’s
grace, given to us through Jesus Christ, and both individually and as a Church,
we pray for his guidance and support as we endeavour to fulfil our calling and
covenant together to: ·
Give a personal example of
Christian living in the wider world, and to serve others whoever they may be, so
that the love of God may be shared among all in need. ·
Attend, whenever possible,
services of public worship, and particularly to be present regularly for Holy
Communion, in order to join with others in offering worship to God the Father,
Son and Holy Spirit. ·
Maintain the practice of
prayer and the reading of the Bible, both personally and as part of the
worshipping Church. ·
Participate in the
governing of the Church, under God, by attending, whenever possible, Church
meetings, and being prepared to consider prayerfully calls to service and
leadership, that together we may discover the will of God for the Church, and
endeavour to carry it out. ·
Love and care for each
other in the community of the Church, as Christ loves us, doing all in our power
to maintain the peace of the fellowship. ·
Associate with other
Christians, both Baptist and other denominations, locally, nationally and
internationally. ·
Make our resources, time,
skills and money available to the Church. ·
Use all our
influence to win disciples for Christ, and to encourage others to prepare for
baptism, and to build up the fellowship of the Church.
