Who we are as a church

A “church” is not some place you go to, but a people you belong to! Even though Windham Baptist Church meets at 973 River Road, that’s not who we are. Windham Baptist Church is really just a small community within the large community of the Windham area. Like any family, we’re made up of some of the most unlikely of characters! Our friendship and our mission are not based on “finding religion”, but living and loving like Jesus in our homes, our schools, our work places, our everywhere. We are convinced that Jesus offers the only true hope for our world that screams out for justice, for rescue, for truth…for a Savior. Because of this, we desire to follow Jesus’ example and act upon his words to be his hands, feet, heart, and voice in a world that desperately needs to know that God has not left us to our own destruction but provides forgiveness, healing, and new life to everyone who believes in and follows Jesus.

As we share life together by following Jesus, we find it a joy and privilege to meet together. Every week we meet all at once on Sunday mornings and then in our homes in smaller groups throughout the week. We don’t gather for worship, per se, as though we only worship God on Sundays. Why? Because every thought, word, and action that honors God is an act of worship; the way that we encourage each other through our singing, preaching, giving, and praying in our gatherings is a part of our entire life-of-worship. To sum up: we believe that God's total plan and purpose for his people includes a rhythm of the church gathering for encouragement (gathered worship) and scattering for mission (individual worship). One without the other creates a lopsided church.

Ultimately, we want to love God supremely and our neighbor as ourselves. This is what Jesus himself said was most important!
