At Vankleek Hill Baptist Church, we desire to be a worshiping community that shares the gospel of Jesus in word and deed to all those in Vankleek Hill and in our surrounding communities. It is the gospel that unites us and gives us fellowship with God and with one another. The good news of Jesus\u2019 life, death and resurrection on behalf of sinners is our constant hope and comfort, and we believe it is the One hope to which we all must cling for life and joy. We are humbled by the fact that we get to participate in Jesus\u2019 mission in the world, to make disciples and carry his gospel to the ends of the earth. We invite you to join us in this work. As Christ has welcomed us, so we welcome you to experience God\u2019s grace in the fellowship of his people. Come see what He is doing in our midst.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Those who covenant to become members of the church commit to being held accountable by fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, and serving under the leadership of the elders\/pastors.
