Ramridge Baptist Church began in 1954 as a new initiative on land specifically designated by Herbert Janes Builders during the construction of a then new Council Estate in southeast Luton. The founding membership was made up from a number of denominations in the area who shared the same vision and the church was 'self built' with voluntary help from many sources. Keith Rudman, has been our appointed Minister since January 2005. Keith and his wife, Julie and their children, Samuel and Hannah, moved into the area from Walsall, where Keith was a Minister in a Baptist Church.

Our Vision
	To proclaim and live the Truth so that those without Christ will become devoted followers of Him.

We Believe

* God’s word and God’s truth is fully expressed in the Bible. * The Bible clearly explains we live in a fallen world where sin separates us from a holy God, our Maker and Creator. * The consequence of sin is judgement but the sacrificial death of Jesus on a roman cross has made it possible for sin to be forgiven, judgement to be escaped and an assurance of eternal life given to those that choose to follow Jesus. * Jesus has risen from the dead and is alive forevermore ready, willing and able to deliver all God’s promises. * There is no other way to know God and receive salvation than through Jesus. * Jesus will deliver His greatest promise to visibly return again in glory to this world to establish an eternal kingdom for those that have truly believed in Him. * This message is reliable and true and vitally important for today’s world as it offers the only hope in people’s lives. * We believe it is our responsibility under God to make this message known so that people can make their own choice.

Our Core Values

TRUTH - The Bible as the single source of wisdom for successful and fulfilled daily living TRUST - We experience God in His fullness when we fully rely on Him in every area of our lives. Therefore we will be committed to prayer, preaching, teaching and application of His Word, spritual servant leadership and world evangelism PEOPLE - People matter to God, therefore they matter to us! Real life change can only occur through genuine relationships TEAM - Each person is a vital part of this church family, and each fulfils their God-given purpose when they contribute to the building of other people through the local church. Each person has a ministry to fulfil. SERVANTHOOD - This is the example Christ left the Church. Service is at the heart of all we do and say, and so we serve each other. We are called to servant leadership and service is the way of contentment.
