Penzance Baptist Church is an established independent reformed Baptist church. A group of Christian believers baptised on profession of faith first formed a church in Penzance in 1803. The Baptist Chapel in Clarence Street was built for them in 1836 and continues to be used by today’s congregation of believers.
We treasure the great biblical doctrines of the Protestant Reformation, sometimes referred to as the doctrines of grace and most fully expressed in the Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689. Our purpose as a church is to glorify the God of the Scriptures in promoting His worship, evangelising the lost, building up the saints, and showing compassion to the needy. We are committed to the proclamation of God's holy and perfect Law and the glorious Gospel of His grace throughout the world, and to the defence of the "faith which was once for all delivered to the saints."
