Girton Baptist Church 2010

History of GBC

At Girton Baptist Church we are proud of the history of witness in our community. In the following pages is the story of part of that Witness.


The opening paragraphs in the Girton Baptist Church Minute Book, dated 12th February 1913 read:

We, assembled here in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ believing it to be in accordance with His will, agree to form ourselves into a Christian Church.

A fellowship of Believers in the crucified but now risen and exalted Son of God our Saviour, in order that we may help one another to love and serve God, and by united effort take to others the salvation we ourselves have found in Him. We take the Holy Scriptures to be our only rule of faith, worship and obedience. We preach and practice Believers Baptism but while commending it to the conscience and loyal obedience of all, we do not make it a term of admission to our fellowship to which we welcome all who have Repentance towards God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, who love our Lord Jesus Christ and depart from iniquity’.

While the language may have changed our beliefs have stayed the same you can find them on the What we believe page
