About
Welcome to Jervis Bay Baptist Church.
It is our hope that this website will help you discover more about who we are and what we do. If you are looking for a place to worship God in the Bay & Basin area, maybe we are the place for you. We are a friendly lot and range from small children to great-grandparents enjoying a relaxed, blended style of worship.
As a church, we are seeking to live out what it means to be a follower of Jesus as we explore God’s word together. This desire to allow God to shape us into the people He wants us to be, impacts how we care for each other and how we relate to the community that we are a part of.
So please check out the website and we pray God continues to draw you to himself.
