about jesus
We believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of the eternal Father who became truly man, being conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. Who died on the cross as a sacrifice for the sin of the world. Who was raised from the dead on the third day. Who ascended to the right hand of God, where He serves as the only mediator between God and men. Who will come again to receive His people to Himself and establish His Kingdom.
About the holy spirit
We believe in the necessity of the work of the Holy Spirit to bring about new birth and to enable the believer to live a new life.
Grimsby Baptist

our story
Baptist witness and worship in Grimsby began in 1822 with the first chapel and schoolroom being built and opened in 1824.
By 1826 a small group covenanting together became the first Baptist Church and called their first minister in that same year.
Numerical growth over the next 50 years led eventually to the building of the Baptist Tabernacle in 1876-1877 and this building remained in use until the 1950’s when the decision to relocate was made.
Changes in society, redistribution of the town’s population and the economics of the upkeep of the aging Tabernacle prompted this decision and the site was chosen with a view to the growth of the Nunsthorpe and Grange Estate.
Since that time we thank God for continued growth. Now we are a vibrant body of God’s people, enjoying His love and expressing that in worship and many acts of service.
