Serving the Auburn community since 1888
We are a community of people, who by faith, follow Jesus, and seek to know Him more and more. In response to Jesus’ love for us, we seek to make Him known to others, and we give ourselves to Him in service to each other.
Our Vision
Living as Kingdom people, believers in Jesus, we are being transformed into His likeness through Christ centered-community.
Our Mission
To know Jesus and to make Him known
Accept all people, reach all people
Unite in Christ
Bring honour to God through our worship
Use our God-given gifts
Relate by serving each other and the community
Nurture each other
If you are a visitor we welcome you into our family and trust you will enjoy your time with us.
Our interim Sunday Service is currently held with Westmead Baptist Church at 10:30am (Suite 36/169 Hawkesbury Rd, Westmead) as we undergo a relaunch process.
There is one body, but it has many parts. But all its many parts make up one body. It is the same with Christ. We were all baptised by one Holy Spirit.
Auburn Baptist Church is undergoing a relaunch process in 2023-24.
We remain committed to the Auburn community and looking forward to renewed ministry soon.

Auburn Baptist Church is aware of the growing cost of living crisis, we have a list of food relief services available in the local area.
Auburn Christian Churches (including Auburn Presbyterian Church, Auburn Baptist Church, Harvest Church of Christ Auburn and others) held a PEACE TENT at the Cumberland Council’s Auburn Ramadan Food Festival on Saturday 16 March 7pm – 12am. We gave out over 800 free MAAMOULS (Middle Eastern shortbread desserts) and engaged in PEACEFUL inter-faith conversations.
Earlier in March, Auburn Christian Churches partnered with Holroyd Christian Minister’s Fellowship and Wentworthville Baptist Church to hold a inter-church children’s activity stall at Cumberland Council’s Easter celebration in Merrylands. Thank you for your prayers and support of our community outreach.
How do you like your eggs? Fried, Scramble, Chocolate, Poached or ??
I must admit, I am rather fond of the chocolate variety. As we approach Easter,
I am surrounded by an abundance of these delights – all wrapped in bright colours and wonderfully inviting.
But what I love even more than the chocolate, is what these eggs represent.
They symbolise new life. But whose new life?
On Good Friday we remember that Jesus died on the Cross to deal with our sin.
Then on Easter Sunday we rejoice that Jesus did not remain dead – He rose from the dead proving that His sacrifice was sufficient to break the hold that sin and death has on our life.
So we can experience and celebrate new life.
For each person who puts their faith in Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, we receive new life. On the Cross, Jesus took the punishment that kept us separated from God and invites us into relationship with God. Both now, and beyond our own death, Jesus invites us into new life in heaven forever – new and exciting life with God. That’s a new life worth celebrating.
So this year, enjoy the chocolate eggs and celebrate new life, that Jesus rose from the dead and that He invites us into new life in Him.
John 3:16 reminds us:
“God loved the people of this world so much that He gave His only Son Jesus, so that everyone who has faith in Him will have eternal life.”

All Cumberland churches are invited to participate – by church attendees inviting their friends and family members to attend with them – over the 11 week series – exploring conversations centred on faith, life and God.
For those of you that aren’t familiar with Alpha, it is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith. Each talk looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation over a meal – through the Connect / Watch / Discuss approach:
Connecting with others is important; friends gathered around the kitchen table, meeting for coffee or catching up online. It’s no different at Alpha.
All sessions start with a time to connect, relax and build friendships. Eating food together creates space for people to connect and share life on a deeper level.
The Alpha talks are designed to engage and inspire conversation. Each one is around thirty minutes long and given by a speaker live or played as a video.
They explore important issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions from Who is Jesus? and How can we have faith? to Why and how do I pray? and How does God guide us?
One of the most important parts of any Alpha is the chance to share thoughts and ideas in small groups. There’s no obligation to say anything and there’s nothing you can’t share (seriously).
The discussion time is an opportunity for people to respond to the talk, hear from others and contribute their own perspective in an honest, friendly and open environment.
