Church History

North Curry Independent Baptist Church was founded in 1825. It was originally known as Ebenezer Baptist Chapel, with a North Curry farmer, Mr. James Flower, as one of its original trustees. It has retained its Baptist distinctions ever since.

It is an Evangelical Baptist Church because we believe, teach and try to tell others, the orthodox Christian Gospel as God's Word for us all today.

We are counted among the Free Churches because we do not have any links, as a church, with the State. Believers, though, are encouraged to meet all their responsibilities to the State as good citizens.

When we say we are a "Church" we mean more than a building. In the Bible a Church is a gathering of people. People who meet to engage in the reverent and sincere worship of God. At the centre of our meetings is the preaching and hearing of His Word, because it's the truth we all need, in order to know what we should believe and how we should live.
