Beliefs
THE BIBLE – We believe that the KJV Bible is the Word of God in the English language and that holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. We believe that the Bible is the only complete and final revelation of the will of God to man and the supreme, infallible authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
GOD – We believe in the Trinity, the unity of the Godhead. There are three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. They are equally perfect in every divine quality and execute distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption. We believe in God the Father. We believe in Jesus Christ. We believe in the Holy Spirit.
THE FATHER – We believe in God the Father, an infinite, personal spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power and love. We believe that He infallibly foreknows all that shall come to pass, that He concerns Himself mercifully in the affairs of men, that He hears and answers prayer and that He saves from sin and death all who come to Him through Jesus Christ.
JESUS CHRIST – We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son, conceived by the Holy Spirit. We believe in His virgin birth, sinless life, miracles and teachings. We believe in His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people and His personal, visible return to earth. We believe Jesus is God.
THE HOLY SPIRIT – We believe in the person of the Holy Spirit who came forth from the Father and Son to convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment and to regenerate, sanctify and empower all who believe in Jesus Christ. We believe that the Holy Spirit indwells every believer in Christ and that He is an abiding helper, teacher and guide.
MAN – We believe that all men by nature, choice and practice are sinners, but that “God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” We believe, therefore, that those who repent and, by faith, receive Christ as Lord and Savior will rejoice forever in God’s presence, and those who refuse to accept Christ as Lord and Savior will be eternally separated from God. We believe that every human being is responsible to God alone in all matters of faith.
SALVATION – We believe salvation involves the redemption of the whole man and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. We believe that Jesus tasted death for all men and wants all to be saved. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification. There is no salvation apart from personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord.
ETERNAL SECURITY – We believe in the eternal security of all blood-bought individuals or believers and that such inheritance is incorruptible and undefiled. The power of God keeps each believer, and nothing can separate us from Him, ourselves included. We believe that believers can lose the joy of fellowship with God, can grieve God, and can quench the Spirit of God in them but not lose their salvation.
WORLD/LOCAL EVANGELISM – We believe that the ministry of reconciliation is committed to every believer and all are saints/priests of God. The Lord Jesus Christ has commanded the preaching of the gospel to all nations. It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and every church of the Lord Jesus Christ to endeavour to make disciples of all nations. The assembly is encouraged to engage in public preaching, one to one conversation provoked amongst the public, tracts delivery and door to door evangelism. Luke 19:10 makes clear that The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Every believer should be involved with bringing the glorious gospel of Christ to the lost outside of the church building.
BIBLICAL SEPARATION – We believe that all the saved should live in such a manner as not to bring reproach upon their Saviour and Lord; that they should be separated from the world while being present in the world, and that they should abstain from all appearance of evil as a testimony to the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ECUMENICALISM – We believe that doctrinal purity is essential to gospel harmony and that the Bible commands us to not partner with someone who is preaching another gospel or teaching contrary to sound doctrine.
SECOND COMING – We believe in the literal return of Jesus Christ to the clouds to rapture the church from the earth. We believe in the bodily/visible return of Jesus Christ with his saints to rule and reign for a thousand years on earth. According to their works, we believe that unbelievers will face and be judged by God at the Great White Throne Judgment, not for salvation, but for their proper and rightful places in the lake of fire.

I have been part of Colchester Mission baptist church from it’s start and have seen the Lord bless the preaching and teaching of His word from the king james bible here. It is our prayer that those seeking to serve the Lord Jesus Christ will join a diligent and fervant congregation in preaching to the lost and growing in faith towards our Saviour. Praise the Lord for bringing missionaries from the USA to plant a church so greatly needed in Essex teaching sound doctrine.
Going to the Colchester Mission has been a real blessing to me. I was very much involved in the charismatic, experienced based church environment but when COVID hit and the churches were ordered to close their doors, The Mission was the only Church in my area that stood firm on Bible commands and kept their doors open. That was a real eye opener for me as it made me see that the majority of other Churches were not based on any substance, but rather are glorified social clubs. The Mission has really helped my faith develop on sound Biblical doctrine. I praise the Lord for opening my eyes to the truth of what a follower of Christ should be in respect to following the Word of God according to His will and not my own self-centred manipulation of the Scriptures. I would recommended The Colchester Mission to anyone truly seeking to be a servant of the Most High.
If you are living in Colchester and looking for a church that sticks to the word of God KJV bible and has the desire to go out and reach lost people with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus, then this church is the right place for you.
