Baptism 

"Go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew 28: 19-20

Our mission as a church is the Great Commission, with a focus on reaching those outside the church and seeing people become disciples, not just converts.  This means we have to "Be disciples, who make disciples." However, this mission has a clear emphasis on baptising people who respond to Jesus' invitation to relationship.

The word “baptism” comes from the Greek “baptizo” and was used to describe a ship sinking; it means to “drown, sink, plunge or soak” and was used to describe a ladle being immersed in and filled with a liquid - and so in keeping with many Christian traditions, we baptise adults publicly in our pool underneath the main platform. 

As a church, we believe that being baptised should be one of the first steps a believer takes after accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord & Saviour, and is a step that we take as a public witness to the change that has already happenned within us.  It is not a "qualification" or a "graduation" that we have to prove good enough for, but rather it is a step we take to follow the example of Jesus who was himself baptised.  It is also not something we do to "get clean" but rather is a step we take to testify that Jesus has made us clean through His death and resurrection.  The Great Commission is a call to baptise disciples, and is therefore a step we take to show other people the evidence of our decision to die to our old ways of life, and live a new life as a disciple of Jesus.

Planning your Visit

New to Church?

Welcome! Whether you've just moved to the area, or have lived here all your life, we hope our website helps you to find out everything you want to know about our Church.

Key information about the church...

   

Where & when does the church meet?

We are "One Church in Two Locations" and  meet every Sunday at 10:30am at both of our buildings.

Moor StPrincess Street

Moor Street, Burton on Trent, Staffordshire, DE14 3SU and Princess Street, Burton on Trent, Staffordshire, DE14 2NR

We have limited parking at Moor Street and sadly there is no dedicated parking at Princess Street, you will need to find street parking nearby, but there is usually parking not too far away and we would encourage you to plan to arrive in time to find a space.

More details can be found on our locations page

 

What should I expect when I visit?

You will receive a very warm welcome at both of our locations, and our Welcome Teams will be happy help and answer your questions.  

Each week our services
have a time of sung worship, communion and a Bible based message relevant to today.  We encourage our congrgeation to participate and so there is usually opportunity to pray, be prayed for, and share words of encouragement.

Refreshments
Tea, coffee and biscuits are served before the morning service at Princess Street and after the service at Moor Street. Both venues offer plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

   

What happens to the kids at church?

Children stay with their parents at the start of the service in both congregations so we can worship together, before going out to their own age related activities.  We do ask that for safeguarding reasons, children are pre-registered when you arrive.

Moor Street

KidsChurch Colour NoBackground

We have a fantastic Sunday based Church for Kids programme that runs in our community centre building (The Corner) across the road from the main building.  We ask parents to accompany their children across the road, and also to pick them up once the service has finished.  Every Sunday we offer:

  • Creche (0 months to 3 years) in our small family room at the rear of the main church building
  • Little Stars (3-5 years - Pre-School age)
  • Shooting Stars (5-7 years - Infant School age)
  • Comets (8-11 years - Junior School age)
     

Princess Street

Our children's work runs in a room behind the main worship area in the same building as the main congregation, and every Sunday we offer a single 5-11 year olds group

Is there anything for Youth?

Asset 1

Our Youth Work, Limitless, runs at our Moor Street congregation, and is for 11-16's.  As with Kids Church the youth join with the main congregation to begin with before leaving part way through the service to their own age related activity.

Their programme varies week to week; usually they meet in the room behind the platform in the main building, apart from on the second Sundays when they join with the Church for Kids in The Corner building, and on fourth Sundays they saty in the main congregation adn are encouraged to get involved.

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

Will I have to join in?

Not at all! You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
