FAQ
What do we preach?
We preach the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, His Salvation through Him alone and His coming again!
Will I be expected to do anything?
You don’t have to do anything when you attend church. You can get involved as much as you like, but if you want to just sit and observe, you’re welcome to do that too. There are no rules about how you participate.
Can anyone attend?
Absolutely, everyone is welcome!
What does it cost to go to Church?
Nothing. While we do give money, this is voluntary, and not a requirement for attendance. Giving is all about expressing worship to God and having money to do things for others.

PASTOR Andy Wilson
Hi, my name is Andy Wilson and I am excited to serve the Whitsunday’s community in my new role as Pastor of the Whitsunday Baptist Church. Having had over 20 years of experience serving in numerous churches in many different roles, I am excited to bring the experience God has given me to serve and reach our diverse community for His Kingdom.
My wife Nerida and I, have a wonderful, blended family of six children. She has worked passionately as a teacher and lecturer for over 25 years and is currently a teacher at the local Christian College, where our two youngest children attend.
I began my Bachelor of Ministry at Malyon Theological College in 2021, after concluding 20 plus years running my own artist blacksmith company in Ipswich, QLD. The calling from the Lord to pursue a career that wholly serves Him, led to this life-changing decision. I have a passion to see all Christians really know and understand their Bible, with all scripture being taught from the pulpit and in small groups. I believe that the church is a hospital for the sick, not just a place for the perfect. I believe people need to feel that church is a place where they can let their guard down and be real; Christ works in us despite our weaknesses and failures (1 John 1:9). I believe God has called me to build His Church (Eph 4:11-16) by growing the Body of Christ into a community of strong disciples, that not only know their Bible, but actively live out their faith with practical wisdom. Jesus called us to go out and make disciples not decisions, to see God’s Kingdom lived out on Earth, as it is in Heaven; And this is my principal passion! Although fishing and sports run a close second of course…;)
