Bairnsdale Baptist Church is a community of people seeking to love Jesus and show His love to others.
The Bible clearly shows us that life, the good life, is found in Jesus. He is the source of purpose and fulfilment for our lives, now and into eternity.
He calls us to a life following Him, as His disciples, for His glory.

At Bairnsdale Baptist Church we take the safety and care of everyone who enters our church seriously. In particular we are additionally focused on providing a safe environment for children, youth, the elderly and any other vulnerable people.
The church has a range of policies and procedures, across church life, to ensure that we are providing safe places to run safe programs which are led by safe people.
At BBC all church leaders, along with all adults leading or helping in ministry with children or youth undergo regular training on Safe Church/Child Safe practices and also must have a current and valid Working With Children Check. BBC use the nationally recognised ChildSafe Program to train and equip our leaders and volunteers. We also receive regular updates from the Baptist Union of Victoria on changes in legislation and practice.
BBC seeks to fully comply with all state and national Child Safe Standards including Mandatory Reporting requirements and the Reportable Conduct Scheme. Our Safe Church concerns persons are John Frazer (Pastor) and Andrew Fearn-Wannan (Church Secretary).
