A new Baptist Association
Open Baptists is a new movement of Baptist churches in Australia and New Zealand, open to the diversity of people that God gathers into our churches and open to the diversity of ways that God calls us to respond in our local contexts.
This openness arises from our Baptist heritage with its deep commitment to the authority of Jesus Christ as head of the Church, the priesthood of all believers, freedom of conscience, and the autonomy of the local church. We have many differences within and among our churches, but we partner together in mutual support and mission to make known the good news of God’s unfailing love for everyone.
Open Baptists acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live and their continuing connection to land, waters, and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures, and the Elders past, present, and emerging.
