Welcome to Dover Baptist Church!
We are delighted to have you join us on this journey of faith, where we gather as a community of believers united in the name of Jesus Christ.

What Do We Believe?
Dover Baptist Church is affiliated with the SBC and closely identifies with the Baptist Faith and Message 2000. We also encourage you to read our page "The Good News" to learn about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and what it means to become a Christian.
What is a Dover Baptist Church Church?
Dover Baptist Church is more than just a gathering of individuals; it's a family of Christians bound together by a common purpose. It's a place where we come together in Christ's name, affirming one another's membership in God's Kingdom. We are a congregation that seeks to represent Christ and His rule on earth through the transformative power of the gospel. Our gatherings are marked by gospel preaching and the observance of gospel ordinances - baptism and communion - symbols of our allegiance and faith. Baptism identifies us with our faith in Christ's death and resurrection, while the Lord's Supper proclaims Christ's sacrifice and our membership in His body. Through worship, preaching, teaching, and celebration of these ordinances, we strive to create an environment where ordinary Christians become a part of the extraordinary Kingdom of God.

Do You Want To Become A Member of Dover Baptist Church?
Church membership is more than a formality; it's a declaration of citizenship in Christ's eternal kingdom. Through church membership, a formal relationship is established between you and our local church body, characterized by mutual affirmation, oversight, and submission. Church membership at Dover Baptist Church involves our church body affirming your faith and pledging to come alongside you on your faith journey. In return, you also are also committing yourself to our church family. This reciprocal relationship is like a marriage ceremony, where both parties say "I do" to support, encourage, and grow together. Just as a Christian has chosen Christ, choosing to join a church is an extension of that commitment.
