Shore Baptist Church

Our services are held at 10am every Sunday. We also have evening services every second and fourth Sunday of the month at 5pm.

Our children (toddler – 12 years) meet before our morning service, at 9.15am, for Sunday School. They sing, have shared catechism instruction, and then break into age-based groups for Bible study.

We don’t believe that children and parents should be separated during our corporate worship on a Sunday; so we encourage children and their parents to join in the service. We do make allowance for the use the Staff Room at the back at times when parents need to take their kids out to calm them down, or attend to something that can’t be attended to quietly in the pews.

It is important that children should observe their parents and other believers as they worship Christ on the Lord’s Day. They need to see the tears, the joy, our closed eyes, our frowns and hear our voices as we sing and us whispering “Amen” as we worship. We want them to observe and participate with us in praying together to God through His Son Jesus Christ, us singing God’s praises as a congregation and also learning how to reverently listen to the Word of God read and preached to us.

Our Sunday service is usually 90 minutes where we start with sung worship, followed by prayer, Bible reading and the preaching of God’s Word, usually led by Pastor André Bay.

After the worship service, we enjoy morning tea together. If you’re new to Shore Baptist Church, this is a great opportunity to get to know the members of the church, and ask any questions you have. Our hope is that you will know the love of Christ, feel valued, at home, and welcomed at Shore Baptist Church.

We love to gather with the church family throughout the week. Our smaller groups that meet for Bible study, prayer and fellowship are called Care Groups. We meet in church members’ homes and there are many times and locations available.
