1952: UNTIL HE COME

Welcome to the Bay Ridge Baptist Church website.
We are an independent fundamental Baptist church, endeavoring to serve our Risen Saviour in the Bay Ridge area of Brooklyn, New York. We have been in existence for more than fifty years and have seen God continue to enable the ministry here. Despite the transiency of the greater metro New York area, it is our desire to keep our hearts aflame with love for Jesus, and the lost world to which He has called us to be a witness.

Bay Ridge Baptist Church Covenant
Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Saviour, and on the profession of our faith having been baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, we do now in the presence of God, angels and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into the Covenant with one another, as one body in Christ.
We engage, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in Christian love; to strive for the advancement of this Church in knowledge, holiness, and comfort; to promote its prosperity and spirituality; to sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline, and doctrines; to contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor, and spread of the Gospel through all nations.
We also engage to maintain family and secret devotions; to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances; to walk circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings, faithful in our engagements, and exemplary in our deportment; to avoid all tattling, back-biting and excessive anger; to abstain from the sale and use of intoxicating drinks as a beverage, and to be zealous in our effort to advance the kingdom of our Saviour.
We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love, to remember each other in prayer, to aid each other in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and courtesy in speech; to be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation, and mindful of the rules of our Saviour to secure it without delay.
We moreover engage that when we remove from this place, we will, as soon as possible, unite with some other Church where we can carry out the spirit of this Covenant and the principles of God’s Word.

CHURCH POETRY
The Shaping of His Warriors
Oh God, in grace,
you have brought learning near.
And after many a perilous fight
Hast taught me how to quiet my fear.
Could I but swing a mighty stroke
and vanquish every foe in reach
t'would be but mundane victory
And not a lesson You would teach.
For lessons coming from Thy mind,
do teach the soul to guard itself
Watching forward, on each side,
Eyes above and behind.
No enemy is there before mine eyes.
Yet in me, and around me
In treachery,
lies in wait to decieve.
Three tricks he knows,
Two of lust, one of pride as First John describes
All three of Deadliest poison,
He comes, a lying snake, behind a mask he hides.
With the art of deception, he fells the strong,
Only Christ can answer every feint from this foe,
God’s Word breaks in, and crashes through the lies,
And by and by God wins the day again with patience long.
Your victory, vanquishing my weakness
comes from Your Providence.
Your strength, supporting my trust in You
comes from Your Omnipotence
Your peace, hushing all my tiredness
comes from You being
here.
