	be baptised in water and in the Holy Spirit
	develop their prayer life and Biblical understanding
	discover their spiritual gifts and become active in the Body of Christ
	live by faith and go on to maturity

Lifestyle

Church is about relationships, not just meetings
We seek to provide an environment where ordinary people can grow in their love for God and each other. Our teaching is based on the Bible, which declares that the greatest commandment is to love God and to love our neighbours.

We relate well to the other churches in the locality and Reigate Baptist Church is a member of the Baptist Union and Evangelical Alliance.



		Church Tradition We are an autonomous Baptist church believing in the authority of the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. Worship Our worship is contemporary allowing the opportunity to participate and we believe that Spirit inspired worship is both intimate and evangelistic. Body Ministry We are committed to body ministry and we endeavour to help members discover and develop their ministry and gifts. Children & Young People We believe that children and young people are the church of today being prepared for tomorrow and as such we value them as an integral part of the church. (Matthew 19:14) Evangelism This church was planted in 1995 to reach un-churched people and we are committed to evangelism in general and to friendship evangelism in particular. We seek to reach out through Alpha, Cell Groups, Parent & Toddlers and a range of special events. Premises Our main meetings take place in our superb new community centre in the heart of the Woodhatch community.
