LEDBURY BAPTIST CHURCH

Ledbury Baptist church is a friendly church attracting a congregation of around 80 people each Sunday.

Whilst the church would not describe itself as overtly charismatic, it is open to the gifts and working of the Holy Spirit and this is expressed in the lively worship experienced each Sunday.
At its heart the church believes it has a remit to share the love of God amongst those in the congregation and by so doing reveal the compassion and love that God has for the town of Ledbury.

The church has no full time leader but instead is run by a laity leadership. The elders look after the spirtual needs of the church, whilst the deacons attend to the practical needs and the management of the church resources. Whilst the church has established this formal leadership structure, the reality is that all those within the church seek to lead in their own specific area of calling and service. The church leadeship structure hinges around three groups of leaders; the housegroup leaders (pastoral), the Mission Team (Evangelism) and the Worship team (Sunday services). These groups support the elders in these fields and lead the church forward. There are also those who lead youth groups, mother and Toddler groups and the children's work each Sunday. Others are part of an organic pastoral network that seeks to meet the needs within the church and the wider community.

The church has built strong links with the other churches in the town and with them is seeking to establish a greater Christian presence in the town. The church values these links and ministers from and members of a variety of congregations are frequent visitors to our pulpit. The churches meet to pray each month for the town and the community.

The church places great emphasis on its meeting together as it believes the heart of its calling is to further relationships both in the individual's walk with God but also in the fellowship the members share with one another. To facilitate this the church meets each Sunday at 10.30 where the emphasis is upon teaching and worshipping God.  Housegroups run each week on a variety of weekdays and these are a source of great fellowship and sharing for all who attend.
