About Us

Welcome to the Empangeni Baptist Church

“We are here to
glorify God by strengthening the body and equipping believers in the
task of ministry and evangelism for the expansion of Christ’s Kingdom”

What is a Baptist?
We as Baptists share many areas of our faith with other members of the professing
Christian Church. These include a belief in one God, Father, Son and
Holy Spirit; in the supreme Lordship of Jesus Christ as Head of the
Church; and in the Bible as the inspired Word of God, and as the final
authority in all matters of faith and practice.

There are however areas of principle and practice where we as Baptists make distinctive
emphases arising out of our understanding of the Scriptures such as the
direct lordship of Jesus Christ, the autonomy of the local church,
believer’s baptism, the congregational principal of church government,
the priesthood of all believers, the principle of religious liberty and
the principle of separation of church and state.
