West Croydon Baptist Church is a healthy and vibrant worshipping community. It is not a traditional community church in that it is situated on a very busy traffic island. However, what has been encouraging in recent years is that there have been various housing developments which has resulted in a tremendous increase in the people population around and nearby to the church.
The people of the church are welcoming, warm and friendly and life within the community is flavoured with grace, love, forgiveness, reconciliation and acceptance. This is a testimony of the work of the Holy Spirit within the community as it seeks to celebrate its multicultural/multigenerational makeup. The church is essentially open to the Holy Spirit and encourages the use of spiritual gifts whilst seeking to promote an atmosphere of openness, moving into the promises of God regarding the miraculous.
WCBC constantly looks for new and fresh ways to reach out with the love of God. It delights in the empowerment of people that they may reach their full potential in Jesus Christ. The church recognises that in order to transition itself to its next stage along the journey, it must develop its structure that as a church of Small Groups it may be best positioned to carry out our Lord's Great Commission.
