At Leominster Baptist Church, our deepest desire is for everyone, everywhere to experience the love, grace, and transforming power of Jesus in their everyday lives. We believe faith isn’t just for Sundays—it’s for every moment, every challenge, and every joy.
Our vision is simple yet life-changing: to help people build an everyday relationship with Jesus— so they can live with him, like him and for him. This is a relationship that shapes their decisions, strengthens their hearts, and fills their lives with hope. Whether you’re new to faith, exploring what it means to follow Christ, or looking for a community to grow with, we invite you to join us on this journey.
Wherever you are, whatever your story, you can walk with Jesus every day.
At the heart of our church is the invitation to experience a life transformed by Jesus. We are a community that seeks to draw people into a deep and personal relationship with God through the power of the Holy Spirit, where the good news of Jesus is more than a message—it’s a living reality.
We embrace the incredible truth that, through Jesus’ death and resurrection, we are forgiven, made new, and set free. In Him, we discover a restored relationship with God, a new Kingdom, and an eternal living hope. This is the foundation of everything we are: Jesus, with us, for us, and instead of us.
Our vision is to equip each person to abide in Jesus’ love, to hear His voice, and to walk in the wisdom of His Word. We believe that God’s will is revealed not only through Scripture but also through the guidance of His Spirit—leading us into His perfect purpose.
We are committed to helping each other recognize the presence of God in our everyday lives, to live with Him at the center of all we do. As we grow in love, we are also called to see and serve Christ in the faces of one another and in the world around us, encouraging each other to reflect His love in all our relationships and actions.
Together, we are living with Jesus, embracing His life, and sharing His light with the world.
As followers of Jesus, we are called to live in a way that reflects His heart, His actions, and His truth. Our vision is to live like Jesus, embodying the values that He lived out, empowered by the Holy Spirit and rooted in God’s Word.
We believe that the Bible is the authoritative and inerrant truth, our ultimate standard for both truth and obedience. It is the foundation upon which we build our lives, shaping how we think, act, and love. Living like Jesus means living according to God’s Word, trusting its guidance in all things.
At the core of this life is Christ-centered living—loving the Lord with our whole hearts, minds, and strength. We seek to follow Jesus not just in word, but in action, loving others as He has loved us, and serving the world with His heart of compassion.
We are also called to be Spirit-led, living in complete dependency on God. We commit to listening for His voice and seeking His guidance in every area of our lives—whether in decisions, relationships, or ministry—acknowledging that apart from Him, we can do nothing.
Living like Jesus also means embracing and walking in our new identity in Christ. This is a life of continual repentance, faith, and obedience, where we constantly turn toward God, receive His grace, and live out the new creation He has made us to be.
Prayer is central to everything we do—both individually and corporately. We recognize that the work of God is only done through the power of prayer. We are a people who seek God earnestly, knowing that nothing of eternal value happens without His involvement.
As we grow, we are committed to equipping believers to live out their faith with passion and purpose. Each person has been gifted by the Spirit for ministry, and we seek to nurture and empower every believer to step into their God-given calling.
Finally, we are a generous people, taking Christ to the nations by giving our time, energy, and resources to serve God’s purposes. Whether through local outreach or global missions, we are devoted to spreading the love of Jesus wherever we go.
In all these ways, we strive to live like Jesus—letting His life be the pattern for our own. We are His hands and feet in the world, serving, loving, and giving as He did.
At the heart of our ministry is a deep commitment to living for Jesus in everything we do. We believe that our lives should be a reflection of His love, truth, and mission, and that our ministry is not just about what we do, but how we live.
Loving Relationships are the foundation of everything we do. We strive to create a community where acceptance, care, forgiveness, and encouragement are central. We draw people to Jesus not just through words, but through loving, sacrificial relationships that reflect His heart for the world.
Worship is not just an event but a way of life. We live with vibrant, heartfelt, and reflective worship, both in our gathered times and in our daily lives. Our worship flows from a heart of gratitude, devotion, and awe toward the God who has called us to Himself.
We believe that Circles—small groups where we gather for spiritual growth, prayer, and relationship building—are essential for deepening our faith and connecting with others. In these circles, we grow together, learning to live like Jesus and encouraging one another in our walk with Him.
Strengthening Families is a priority, as we recognize that healthy families are the bedrock of a thriving church. We are committed to building strong youth, children’s, and young adult ministries that equip the next generation to live for Jesus and carry His mission forward.
We believe in Empowering Leadership by entrusting people with real ministry opportunities. Each person has a role in God’s kingdom, and we are committed to nurturing and empowering leaders who can serve with passion and purpose, advancing the mission of Jesus in our church and beyond.
Our mission is to reach our community and the world with the good news that Jesus saves. Just as Jesus came to seek and save the lost (Luke 15, Luke 19:10), we are called to share His message of hope and salvation with those around us.
Teaching believers how to love God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength, and how to love their neighbors as themselves is central to our ministry. Through the Bible, we seek to equip the church to live out the commands of Christ (Col. 1:28; Matt. 22:37-40).
Finally, our ministry extends beyond our walls as we are committed to sending believers out into the world to share the story of how Jesus saved them. We are a church on mission, ready to go and tell others about the life-changing love of Christ (Rom. 10:13-15; Acts 1:8).
We live for Jesus, and everything we do is for His glory and the expansion of His kingdom. This is how we do ministry—through love, worship, empowerment, and outreach, reflecting the heart of Jesus in a broken world.
Our core values are the principles that shape how we do ministry and how we make decisions.
Christ is the head of the church, and everything we do is guided by His leadership and lordship. Our identity is found in Him alone, shaping our purpose, hope, and salvation. The gospel is at the heart of our mission, compelling us to share the good news of Jesus with the world. Following Christ is not just a Sunday experience but a daily pursuit, shaping how we live, love, and serve.
The Bible is our ultimate foundation, providing truth, wisdom, and direction for every aspect of life. We trust Scripture as the inspired Word of God, choosing obedience to His teachings over cultural norms or personal preferences. Our beliefs, decisions, and way of life are shaped by God’s truth, and we are committed to continually studying and applying His Word to grow in faith, wisdom, and spiritual maturity. We also make sure that our study is not an end in itself but a means to lead us to greater love for and devotion to Jesus, to whom all scripture points.
True worship is more than just singing; it is a way of life. We worship in spirit and in truth, seeking to encounter God with hearts that are fully surrendered to Him. Our worship is Spirit-led and grounded in the unchanging truth of Scripture, not based on emotions or circumstances. Whether in seasons of joy or trials, we glorify God with gratitude, devotion, and faith, offering Him our whole lives as an act of worship.
Faith calls us to trust God beyond what we can see, cultivating a deep and unwavering relationship with Him. We step out in boldness, not relying on our own strength, but walking in the power of the Holy Spirit, who leads and empowers us. We pray expectantly, believing that God will do more than we can ask or imagine. Following Him often requires stepping into the unknown with courage, knowing that His presence goes before us. As such we seek to cultivate a trusting relationship with God. We take time to listen to God to remain in step with the Spirit so that we can know his heart and embrace challenges and opportunities that stretch us beyond our comfort zones. Our faith is not passive but active, calling us to abiding union with Christ, radical obedience and unwavering confidence in God’s limitless ability to accomplish the impossible.
True relationships are built on love, honesty, and vulnerability. We are called to love one another as God has loved us, fostering a culture where people can be real with one another. In our small groups and daily lives, we seek to create spaces where people are known, supported, and encouraged in their faith. Authenticity deepens our connection with God and with each other, allowing us to grow together in love and truth.
Every family, no matter its shape or circumstance, is meant to thrive in Christ. We are committed to nurturing strong, Christ-centered homes by offering support, encouragement, and resources that help families grow spiritually. Just as God calls us to care for orphans, widows, and those in need, we extend love and support to every generation, ensuring that no one walks alone. Families flourish when they are rooted in faith, built on love, and strengthened through community.
Serving others is at the heart of the gospel. We live out our faith by meeting needs, extending kindness, and loving our neighbors as ourselves. Our mission is not just within the walls of the church but in the streets, workplaces, and homes of our community. By embodying the love of Christ in practical ways, we bring hope, healing, and transformation to those around us. True service is more than an act—it is a lifestyle of generosity and compassion.
The Church is bigger than one congregation, and we are called to work together for the sake of God’s Kingdom. Through partnerships with other churches and ministries, we demonstrate the unity of Christ’s body and extend our reach beyond what we could do alone. When we love one another as Christ commanded, we reflect His heart to the world, showing that we are His disciples. Together, we stand stronger, serve better, and advance the gospel with greater impact.
Jesus calls us to be His witnesses, and we cannot do it in our own strength. We rely on the power of the Holy Spirit to boldly proclaim the good news of Christ in our neighborhoods, cities, and across the world. Our mission starts where we are but extends to the ends of the earth. Through our words, actions, and lives, we make Jesus known so that others may experience His love, grace, and salvation.
The Great Commission is not a suggestion—it is a calling. Jesus commands us to go, teach, baptize, and make disciples. We embrace this mission by equipping and sending people to share the gospel globally. Whether through short-term missions, long-term ministry, or supporting those on the field, we are dedicated to reaching the lost and discipling new believers. We go with confidence, knowing that Jesus is with us always, empowering us to fulfill His mission.
Generosity is not just about finances; it is a way of life. Jesus teaches that it is more blessed to give than to receive, and we seek to live with open hands—giving our time, resources, and love to others. Whether supporting missions, helping those in need, or funding church planting efforts, we give sacrificially and joyfully, trusting that God provides abundantly. Radical generosity reflects the heart of Christ and is a powerful testimony of His love to the world.
For some this means travelling away but for most it means finding the opportunities and ways in which God is working in our own lives, the lives of our families and our places of work and play. When we see God working, we then try to find ways to join in.
The mission of the Church is to make disciples, and one of the most effective ways to do that is through church planting. We are committed to raising up leaders, equipping them with biblical truth, and sending them out to start new churches that will, in turn, plant others. Just as Paul instructed Timothy to pass on what he had learned to trustworthy leaders, we strive to create a movement of multiplication where the gospel spreads through thriving, Christ-centered communities.
