Essex Baptist Church is more than just a building - we are an evangelical church of people from different backgrounds, different occupations, different stages and ages of life.  We welcome all visitors to our church, our greeters will meet you Sunday mornings with a smile!  Feel free to browse our site to discover what we believe, what you can expect during your visit and the programs we offer.
NOTICE
Great NEWS!  We are open again after "meeting" by video for the last 3 months. Plan to join us this weekend to celebrate the goodness of God in teaching us Wisdom. Hover over the message title below to take you to our most recent video.  

Important COVID Safety Precautions
We are taking every precaution to keep all who attend safe.  We will keep social distancing in place and will have sanitation stations throughout the building and as you walk through the door.  We will not be taking up the offering by passing the offering plate but will have a basket at the back of the auditorium for those who wish to worship the Lord with their offerings.  Door handles, railings and washrooms will be sanitized during the service and seating will be limited to every other row in our auditorium with safe distancing between people. At this time we will not be singing but will worship the Lord with music in other ways. You will not be required to wear a mask but may if you are more comfortable with one. We would encourage those with compromised breathing  to watch the Sermon online at the link below.   
There will be no program for children but they are welcome in the main service and we will try to take into account that they  are present.  We love our children and because of that we cannot offer children's programs at this time. 

PLEASE STAY HOME IF YOU ARE SICK and enjoy the message by Facebook or YouTube and then come when you are feeling well.  
Thank you for your understanding as we take these necessary precautions.  

If you need any assistance or have a prayer request please don't hesitate to call or email.
