Who We Are

We are one body, rooted in prayer and the Bible, boldly reaching the world with the transforming power of the Gospel.

At Dover Baptist Church, we believe the Bible teaches us that Christians practice their faith both as an individual expression of personal faith and as a community of unified followers growing together as the body of Christ.

Growing Together as a Body of Believers

For growing together as a faith community, we encourage you to get involved in the life of our church.

Meeting together weekly for Corporate Worship.
In scripture, we are commanded that we cannot give up meeting together. Though this has been a challenging year for practicing that commandment, Dover Baptist Church remains committed to gathering in-person, weekly, to worship together through music, through hearing the public reading of Scripture, and through submitting to the preaching of God's Word. Access our Sermon Archive here.

We provide a live stream of our services for those who are unable to attend in person, but we strongly urge you that "streaming church" is NOT attending church. Do not continue to rely on livestreamed services as an equal replacement.

Meeting together to Study God's Word
We also offer opportunities to go deeper into God's Word through Bible Study, to equip and encourage one another in the faith. (Ephesians 4:11-12, 2 Timothy 3:17, Hebrews 13:21)

Growing as an Individual Follower of Christ

For growth in personal and family worship, we encourage you to spend time reading your Bible and seeking the Lord through prayer. Check out these online resources that will support you in your personal growth:

The Gospel Coalition
The Gospel Coalition offers a huge library of resources for all believers, walking every category of life, from online articles to podcasts, books to training conferences. This is Pastor Christopher's go-to website for thoughtful reflection on theology, culture, church history, evangelism, and so much more. It is updated daily and sure to provide you with opportunities for reflection and growth. Check it out!

Challies.org
This website, the self-described "online home of Tim Challies, blogger, author, and book reviewer," provides a thoughtful reformed perspective for all believers. Check it out!

Reformation 21
This blog is sponsored by the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals, and it offers a Reformed and Covenantal perspective. Though Pastor Christopher commented that he sometimes disagrees with some of the conclusions drawn by these authors, he finds this blog offers a helpful perspective--and often a critique--of some elements of contemporary evangelicalism.

“Our hearts are restless, until they can find rest in you.”
Augustine of Hippo (354–430), in Confessions.

Desiring God
Desiring God offers the ministry resources created and curated by John Piper

Christianity Today
Possibly the most well-known news outlet for faithful evangelicalism, Christianity today covers a wide range of social issues while also offering resources for the believer. Check it out!
