York Baptist Church

York Baptist Church Welcome to York Baptist Church on Facebook. We are an evangelical Baptist Church situated in the heart of the city of York. www.ybc.org.uk

Our vision as a church is summarised in the statement 'knowing, living, sharing Christ'. We are committed to living this out in our daily lives. We are dedicated to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ both within our regular Church activities and also out in the local community.

A number of us had a great time with Mel from GYD on Saturday morning. We really enjoyed getting the chance to learn / think more deeply about how we can better teach our Children and Young People.

If you were there, let us know what stood out to you...

If you missed out, do chat Andy or Becky about notes from the session and make sure you're around when we book in Part 2!

On Saturday we had the joy of being with the volunteer leaders at York Baptist Church for children’s and youth ministry training.

Every weekend, in different places and with different churches, we are reminded what a privilege this work is. Growing Young Disciples exists because we love the local church. We love seeing faithful leaders give their time, energy, Saturday mornings, spare evenings, and whole hearts to helping children and young people know the Lord Jesus and hear the Bible taught well.

Opening Scripture with the next generation carries real weight and real privilege. Children and young people deserve more than noise, entertainment, or vague ideas. They need leaders who will think carefully, pray seriously, prepare diligently, and teach the Bible with clarity, warmth, and deep conviction.

We had such a great time in York thinking together about how to teach the Bible faithfully, engagingly, and well.

Thank you, York Baptist Church, for having us. It was a real privilege to be with you.

There has been some confusion about the start time of the bonfire tomorrow. It starts at 6:30pm (though evidently some people are reporting Facebook saying a different time).

The plan is to conclude for around 8pm.

As we couldn't gather and sing together this Christmas, here is our YBC virtual choir singing 'On Christmas Day'

24/12/2020

Will you know peace this Christmas? It's something we all want, but seems so hard to hold onto. Yet Christmas shows that God wants peace on earth, and He sent Jesus to bring it about.

This song from Poor Bishop Hooper, recounts the message that Gabriel was sent to give to Mary, about how she will bear a son who will create a kingdom of peace:

We at YBC want to wish you a Merry Christmas!

Christmas is good news that brings us hope, joy and peace. This week we are thinking about how the first Christmas shows us that we can have hope.

To hear more about this message of hope, check out this recent talk from our Sunday service.
