ABOUT US
Introduction
Ledbury Baptist Church is a friendly family based church seeking to build a true sense of Kingdom community. It is first and foremost a community of people who have a love for God and believe that this love should be expressed both within the church as they share their lives together and also shared within the wider community.
Whilst the church would not describe itself as overtly charismatic, it is open to the gifts and working of the Holy Spirit and this is expressed in the worship experienced each Sunday along with "Vine TIme" which provides age appropriate church for the children. At its heart the church believes it has a remit to share the love of God amongst those in the congregation and by so doing reveal the compassion and love that God has for the town of Ledbury.
Leadership
The church has no full time leader but instead is run by a laity leadership. The elders look after the spiritual needs of the church with a team supporting them. The deacons attend to the practical needs and the management of the church resources. Whilst the church has established this formal leadership structure, the reality is that all those within the church seek to lead in their own specific area of calling and service.
The Church of Ledbury
The church has built strong links with the other churches in the town and with them is seeking to establish a greater joint Christian presence in the town. Under the auspices of Tony Hodder's ministry (curate at the Anglican Church) the church holds joint services with all the other denominations at times throughout the year. It also invites ministry from a variety of congregations within our Sunday worship. The churches meet weekly to pray on a Thursday under the banner of the 7/12/7 initiative and there is a joint time of worship and ministry held at Baptist Church each Monday Evening
Worship
The church places great emphasis on its meeting together as it believes the heart of its calling is to further relationships both in the individual's walk with God but also in the fellowship the members share with one another. To facilitate this the church meets each Sunday at 10.30 although coffee is served from 10am onwards. The emphasis in the service is on teaching and worshipping God. But occassionally we have services with a more informal style of fellowship where all can contibute. Children enjoy elements of the service with their parents but also have their own time in their "Vine Time" group which provides teaching and fellowship geared for their age groups. Housegroups run each week on a variety of weekdays and these are a source of great fellowship and sharing for all who attend.
