Oxford Terrace Baptist Church
Baptist
As a faith community we would define ourselves currently as evangelical Baptists with a growing focus on community, discipleship, and mission. We seek to be a place that embraces diversity as we serve and worship God in this city. There have been a number of staff changes and additions since 2008, along with some new members and visitors. We are excited about how God is guiding us at this time, especially since the 2010/2011 earthquakes in Canterbury.
In July 2011 our earthquake destroyed 1881 church building was cleared away and over summer sunflowers were planted on the site with the help of two classes of children from the Christchurch East School. Many other volunteers helped make this happen, as well as generous donations of seedlings and compost from the Greening Spaces project.
Service Times
Every Sunday morning there are two events taking place at the church lounge at 288 Oxford Terrace:
9.30am CLASSICAL/TRADITIONAL CHURCH SERVICE
This has hymn singing, organ music, sermon, praying, and other content. It is an hour-long service with morning tea afterwards.
11.00am CONTEMPORARY/MODERN CHURCH SERVICE
We sing more recent church music lead by a band, there is a sermon, praying, and other content. Alongside this is a children's programme. Come early for morning tea (from 10.30am).
