Welcome

You've reached the home page of Emsworth Baptist Church.

Emsworth Baptist Church is located in the heart of Emsworth on the south coast of England between Portsmouth and Chichester.

We are a growing family church serving the Lord in our community and further afield.  In addition to regular Sunday worship there is an active mid-week programme.

Sunday Services

Please feel free to join us for worship each Sunday. The morning service starts at 10:30 a.m. and the evening service at 6:30 p.m. We are always happy to welcome newcomers and visitors. The style of service ranges from the quiet contemplative to energetic music based worship. The music groups that support our services each Sunday comprise of 3 to 5 piece bands with lead and supporting singers. We praise the Lord through strong Bible led worship, through prayer, and through song and drama. For younger members of the congregation, there is an active Junior Church. Communion is served twice monthly.

Following the morning service, tea and coffee is served. This is a good time to get to know other members of the congregation. If you are a visitor to the area, there is always someone at hand that will be able to tell you about the history of Emsworth and suggest interesting places to visit.

Today's Prayer Suggestion

Dear Lord, forgive us for thinking that full-time discipleship is only for ministers and other professional Christian workers. You have called each of us, to be full-time Christians, at home with our families, at our places of employment, in fact everything we do.

Do we reflect on Your Word as we wait at the check-out in the supermarket, and do we stand by Your Word as we face our political concerns and responsibilities? Remind us that often our actions or lack of action speak louder than words. Give us wisdom and courage to live every day as Your ambassador, for we may be the only “gospel” that some people will ever encounter.

In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen.

Thought for the Day

Some things are not what they seem, so think carefully before you react. Lord, give me patience and resolve when I have the urge to assume the worst or jump to false conclusions
