Our VisionWe want Blackburn Baptist Church to be a God-centred, loving and growing church. We want it to be somewhere where all kinds of people can come to faith in Jesus Christ and be supported in maturing as his disciples. We want it to have a positive impact on Blackburn, its surrounding areas and the wider world.
