About Us...
Our Approach Clayfield Baptist Church is a small community-based church in the northern suburbs of Brisbane, Australia. We are a bible believing people who follow the Lord in a sincere way, to reach our community with faith, hope, and love. We have a strong emphasis on the preaching and teaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ A Multi-Church Model As a Christian Church we have chosen not only to be part off a multi-church model, but be the initiators of a multi-church model here in Clayfield. What this means we are actively working together with two other independent churches that meet on the same premises, all working together for Gods kingdom. That means even though we are independent of each we choose to work together, in various ministries including, though not limited to men's ministry and the sharing of the Gospel. Therefore at a Clayfield Baptist Church, we work together for Christ to glorify Christ so that some may be saved. Since our church focuses on Christ and that He died for us all, regardless of who you are, people of all ages and nationalities have found a home of Christian fellowship. Including just some of these countries.... |

(Inward) Mat 22:39 Tell the World: Our aim is to tell the world about the Good News of Jesus Christ and to help people to get to know him. (Outward) Mat 28:19 Be a disciple of Christ: Our aim is to allow God to shape us and mould us in a life's journey of surrendering to his will. (Forward) Mat 28:20 Relational Church
