Armidale District Baptist Church

Armidale District Baptist Church (ADBC) is a regional church, situated in the pleasant city of Armidale on the Northern Tablelands of NSW. We are a church with a passion to authentically follow Jesus Christ and are predominantly conservative evangelical in our theology.

The city has a population of around 25,000 and is well-serviced in terms of education and health needs. The University of New England (UNE) is the largest employer, and the city has a diverse cultural mix, partly due to international students and a targeted refugee resettlement program.

Our heart as a church is revealed in our Vision Statement: “We are a church bringing God’s hope and love to the Armidale District through practical caring and helping people grow in relationship with Jesus Christ.”

We are a church family with a diverse team of lay leaders and preachers (both women and men). Our ministries include weekly Life Groups, Girl’s Brigade, Kids Church, and a Craft Group. In the latter half of 2025, we have joyously welcomed over 90 Congolese refugees into our fellowship. This sudden and significant growth presents both a wonderful opportunity and a considerable challenge as we seek to support this new community.
