St Peter's Baptist Church is a lively congregation of around 200 people. The church has existed as an independent fellowship on the south side of the city of Worcester, UK since 1983, during which time it has grown considerably. For almost 100 years previously it had been a "branch" of another church in the city centre. We are firmly in the evangelical tradition. We aspire to live under the authority of the word of God in the power of the Holy Spirit and to be effective in evangelism. Our values and vision can be found here.
The congregation meets on Sunday mornings and evenings at our new church building on St Peter's Drive, Worcester. We aim to be contemporary and informal in our worship style using predominantly modern music and encouraging many people to contribute to the leading of worship. We expect preaching that is biblical, relevant and applied.
We place a high emphasis on participation in house groups. They are a vital aspect of our fellowship and learning together and provide the primary level of pastoral care. All members are allocated to a house group. The church has always had a strong work with children and young people. About 70 children come on Sunday morning, and for the second part of the service are in groups. During the week we run MX (7 to 10s), XL (11 to 13s) and Back Row (14+). These midweek groups have a programme of events, activities and weekends away, seeking consistently to make young disciples of Jesus through teaching and example. Every July we run a week long Holiday Club and in August a youth Adventure Camp. We also run periodic youth Alpha courses.
