Tamworth Baptist Church is located in Staffordshire in the Heart of the
Midlands in England, we have two locations where our members/guests/friends
and visitors come together to worship our Lord Jesus Christ.
We have tried to facilitate as much information as possible about ourselves
and the community we are a part of. Both locations have assisted hearing aid
facilities and ramp/ground level access.
We hope that you find what you are looking for and enjoy browsing round the
site. However well we organise our website, it will never be the same as a
personal visit to our Church. So, if in the Tamworth area, please pay us a
visit so that we can greet you properly.
We welcome you to come and be part of us in worshipping and serving the Lord
Jesus in our community.

We are a Baptist Church that is affiliated with the Baptist Union of Great Britain. This means we hold to the beliefs shared by those of the Union… LINK to ‘WHO ARE WE on the BUGB website …but what does this mean to us: We believe in One God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit… We believe in the Trinity – God has chosen to reveal himself to us as Father Son and Holy Spirit and yet the three are one. Not one in the same, not three ways of seeing the same, or one person who has shown up in different ways at different times, but three that have a unity, and shared nature and purpose and will. God has revealed himself in community, in Trinity. In God we see relationship as central and we are made in God’s image. We may be individuals, but we were made for relationship and relationships are central to who we are as people and therefore who we are as church. We believe in God the Father – as earthly parents we all make a mess of things, none of us are perfect. Some of us may even have been damaged by our relationships with our earthly fathers, but God is not like them, rather as people we are called to be like our heavenly Father. We believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God – Jesus is the eternally begotten Son of God, which means that in all eternity God chose to be Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that Jesus has always been. Yet we see and know Jesus in the one who was born to Mary in first century Palestine. Jesus was always God in his nature, as well as being human, and at his baptism he was filled with the Spirit. From that point Jesus exercised his ministry, revealing what God is like to the people around him. Jesus was the Christ, the Messiah, the one who came to restore our relationship with God the Father and so to liberate us from the controls of this world, power, sin and death. Chris humbled himself to the Father’s will: whereas we too often we stamp our feet and do what we want, Jesus lived his life doing’ only what he saw his Father doing’ and willingly went to his death for us. Jesus died for us as our ‘Passover Lamb’, acting as an atoning sacrifice, winning victory over death and sin, paying the price for us, taking our punishment on himself, paying our ransom, and as the Judge of all the Earth he took the outcome of that judgement on himself. What Jesus did for us is bigger than we can get our heads around and it did not end there! Jesus died, and rose again. We believe in the truth of resurrection and the power of that resurrection for us. Jesus ascended to God the Father and intercedes at the Father’s side for us… his humanity crying out for us at the very heart of God’s nature. Jesus reigns; he is King of Kings and Lord of Lords and Jesus is coming back to bring in his future and our eternity. If all this sounds huge… then it is. If all this sounds complicated… then the truth is very simple: Jesus is the Son of God, he shows us what God is like and he died that we might have a relationship with God the Father. Jesus is our Saviour and our Lord. all about Jesus! We believe in God the Holy Spirit – The Holy Spirit isn’t some kind of Christian electricity supply, but one of the Trinity, part of the very nature of God. The Spirit is a person, who God sends to us to help us, guide us, enable us and empower us to serve Jesus.
The Holy
Spirit was there at Jesus conception, empowered him at his baptism,
led him into the wilderness and beyond. The Holy Spirit made Jesus
resurrection a reality and for us makes our lives as Jesus servants
a reality. The Spirit is bigger and more awesome than we can
conceive and is more personal and intimate than we can imagine. |
