OUR MISSION

​

Our Mission is to love God and our community.

​​​

We are committed to creating a community:

- that is empowered by Holy Spirit to make disciples who multiply.

- that joins with God in transforming the lives of people from our community and beyond.

- where people of every generation, and background can walk with God and be equipped to impact their community for Christ.

- where everyone can find a place to worship and belong.  

​
OUR COMMISSION​​

​

Jesus' final words are to shape our reason for living as followers of Jesus.

Matthew 28:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

​

This is our purpose for existing as a church.

Our Story

Founded in 1960, The Gap Baptist Church was birthed from nearby Ashgrove Baptist and has since established its own place in The Gap community.  Over the years our church has had the privilege of seeing many people meet Jesus, loving and serving the local community and helping the congregation to live Godly lives through the Holy Spirit.

What We Believe

​

i. The Divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testaments.

ii. The existence of one God in three persons - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

iii. The Deity, Incarnation, and virgin birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God, the Second Person in the Holy Trinity.

iv. The fallen sinful and lost condition of all people.

v.  The salvation of people from the penalty and power of sin, through the perfect obedience of the Lord Jesus Christ, His atoning death, His resurrection from the dead, His ascension to the right hand of the Father and His unchanging Priesthood.

vi. The immediate work of the Holy Spirit in the regeneration of people, in their sanctification and in their preservation to the Heavenly Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ.

vii. The necessity, in order to obtain salvation, of repentance towards God and of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

viii. The resurrection of the dead and the final judgement of all people by the Lord Jesus Christ.

ix. The two ordinances of the Lord Jesus Christ - namely, Baptism and the Lord's Supper which are of perpetual obligation. Baptism being the immersion of Believers upon the profession of their Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and a symbol of the fellowship of the regenerate in His death, burial, and resurrection; the Lord's Supper being a memorial, until He comes, of the sacrifice of the body and the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ
