WHO WE ARE

 

Wellington Baptist Church (WBC) is a Christian Church in membership with the Baptist Union of Great Britain and the South West Baptist Association (SWBA).

 

Wellington is a town in Somerset, just South of Taunton and not far from the Devon/Somerset county border.

 

WBC is one of the oldest baptist churches in the South West of England. The history of the church dates back to the late sixteen hundreds, though the exact date when the church began is a arguable fact. See our HISTORY SECTION for further discussion on our history.

 

WBC is a finding a new vision from God for its future. It is a church of many different kinds of people, ages and experiences. The church ministers to all ages but it is actively re-shaping itself to reach the needs of younger folk and families in it's style and outreach.

 

WBC's Pastor - Sam Griffiths, is leading and shaping the church along Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Church lines, and thus we seek to be a healthy church based upon & driven by the five key biblical principles of church growth:

 

Crucial to the future of the church is the key concept of Ministry that is rooted in scripture that the Minister is the Pastor and the Members are the Ministers. Thus WBC is taking this principle very seriously and departing from the traditional unbiblical model of the Minister doing everything!

 

WBC's buildings are centrally located near to the middle of Wellington and includes a worship centre, church halls, kitchens & staff offices, 

 

 

WBC "clusters" with other Baptist churches of the Taunton area, associates with the other churches of the Wessex District of SWBA and also with other like minded churches in the town of Wellington.

 

We are actively praying for new young families to come and join WBC to help shape its future vision and be actively involved in its growth and development. This could be YOU!

 

This will demand your commitment and whilst it may be easier and more comfortable for you to join a larger church, we believe God calls people to serve rather sit, commit rather than cruise!

 

Come and try us out, find out about our vision, and we make you feel welcome, we promise!
