Our Story

Emsworth Baptist Church was founded in 1845 when a group of twenty-three people made the decision to support and care for each other and establish a new church. In 1848, a new church building was completed and the following 150 years saw the Church grow in numbers and influence in our town.​

Towards the beginning of the millennium, the membership made the decision to build new premises that would not only serve the present day and future needs of the church but also the community. In July 2015, the new premises were opened and since then have been used extensively not only by the church but also by the community. 

Our church is part of the Baptist Union of Great Britain, members of the Evangelical Alliance, and Churches Together.

​

We describe ourselves as a growing, welcoming family, who are committed to the Bible, open to the Spirit, serious about faith and relaxed in style. We exist to worship God wholeheartedly by:​

​

• Creating a loving community of all ages.

• Establishing faith, dedication and obedience to Jesus

• Going out to serve our neighbourhood and the wider world
