Charlton Baptist Church exists to honor and glorify God by making and growing fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
To make and grow disciples we will support the hurting, nurture families, and renew our communities with the love and gospel of Jesus Christ.
Hurt exists on many levels. Physical hurt exists in our bodies, but hurt goes much deeper than that. At a deeper level, mental, emotional and spiritual hurt are sometimes harder to see and harder to recover from. Jesus has called us to be a support to the hurting, addressing all types of hurt, both through acts of mercy and by being and communicating the only thing that can truly remedy all hurt. The gospel.
Families come in all shapes and sizes and the local church exists as a family of families. God has ordained the family as an institution where discipleship is to take place and where the gospel is at the center. We have been called as a church to nurture families, providing them with the resources they need that the gospel may be present and active in the lives of the families God has entrusted to our care.
The gospel not only has the ability to impact individuals and families, but to renew communities. For us, this comes not through enacting social change, but through a belief that the gospel can change the hearts and minds of any who hear it. We are a church who has been called to Charlton, Massachusetts and to the Greater Worcester area. As we carry the gospel out into our communities, we seek the kind of renewal that only the gospel can provide.
