Theological & Values Emphasis
North Balwyn Baptist Church can best be described as: Theologically – mainstream evangelical, but really we are simply people seeking to passionately follow Jesus throughout our lives.
Some of the strengths the Church has shown over the years:
-
Welcoming, engaging and involving people of all cultures
-
Investing in children and youth ministries toward discipleship
-
Focus on the word through preaching and growth groups
-
Special events that show hospitality and engage new people
-
Helping and caring for people
Worship Style
Our worship style could be best described as contemporary.
We do value the songs and hymns of the past, as well as embracing the “new songs’ God is bringing into Christian worship.
We strive for maximum participation of our congregation in the service. On any given Sunday you will see people from the congregation involved in welcoming, morning tea, singing, musical accompaniment, Bible reading, testimonies, communion, sound and projection, children’s ministry, youth Bible study, to name but a few of the ways people can be involved.
