About Us

Our Beliefs

• We believe that God exists in three persons. God the Father, who is the creator of all things; Jesus Christ who is the incarnate Son who died for our sins and rose again and will one day return to reign as King of Kings; and in the Holy Spirit who lives in every believer equipping them to live a life that pleases God.
• New life in Christ comes through repentance and personal faith in Christ.
• Baptism by immersion as a result of personal faith and an act of obedience is the “Biblical pattern” for witnessing to our faith publically.
• We have an expectation that the Holy Spirit's presence will be manifested in both fruit and gift in the individual and in the life of the whole fellowship.
• We believe that it is the responsibility of every believer to bear witness to what God has done in their lives.
• The Church meeting is central to the direction of the Church. It is there that we seek to determine the mind of Christ with regard to how we function as his Church. To be in Partnership with Ventnor Baptist Church is to commit to being part of that process.
• However, no church can exist in isolation and therefore we also value being part of the wider Baptist family, The Baptist Union of Great Britain and Southern Counties Baptist Association. This brings support, nurture and encouragement as we seek to fulfil God's commission to take the good news to all nations and peoples. This is expressed in our commitment to Home Mission, B.M.S., and involvement in the activities of the Southern Counties Baptist Association. We also join with the other Baptist churches on the Island for joint events for training, worship and evangelism.
• As part of the wider body of Christ on the Island we are also committed to working with churches of other denominations across the Island for the sake of the Gospel.

How we worship

We worship every Sunday between 10:30am and 12:00pm and welcome all including children.

We celebrate Holy Communion on the 3rd Sunday of the month and all who have faith in Jesus Christ are invited to share this celebration with us.

After morning worship we serve tea and coffee and invite visitors to stay and enjoy fellowship with us.

Mission Statement

“To see Ventnor transformed by the love of God expressed in word and action.”

Our Vision

To fulfil our Mission Statement, we seek to be involved in the life of the community by making our buildings available for general use and where appropriate, encouraging individuals to be active in community affairs.

We do that by involvement in the Ventnor Isle of Wight Food Bank and Street Pastors. Both are which are joint ventures with other Christians in the area.

When circumstances permit we have Craft and Bric-a-brac sales on a Saturday afternoon.

We also have fun nights, open to all. The Curry-oke nights are always well attended and enjoyed by those that come.

We rent an allotment from the Town Council, which was begun and is tended, planted and harvested by a small team from the partnership, and is proving to be quite successful.

We recognise that there is still much to do to touch our community and as God provides us with both the financial and the human resources necessary we are certain that our mission will continue to grow.
