New Sound Church

I was dedicated as an infant in the old Gothic Red brick Church behind and went to Sunday School and the "8th NSW Boys Brigade" here. I was a drummer in the Boys Brigade Band. In the late '60s my father who was a Deacon and Sunday School Superintendant, but also a builder started on construction of the current church building. Here are the pictures of the grand opening of the Bankstown Baptist Church building in July 1967. The Pastor, Rev E.V. Marks and another deacon Mt Taplin officiated at the opening. The last photo is of the Church float being prepared for the Bankstown Easter Show Mardi Gras march circa 1970. From left to right at the float, Ted Higgins, Andrew J Gough and Mr Grigg.

My husband and I were looking for a church that fit us and from the first time we walked through the doors over 2 years ago it right away felt like home for us. We have grown so much in our faith, knowledge amd relationship with the Lord and look forward to more. More of the word, more encounters with the holy spirit, more! What's even better is everything is Scripture based and biblical. I encourage anyone reading to come and experience it for yourself.

Spirit-filled atmosphere, electric worship and a community that is hungry to grow and make His truth known for all. I couldn't imagine myself in another church, this place has become my home.

The christianity it is not a tradition
The christianity is an experience, not to know Jesus only but to experience His love,
I found that strong foundation at bankstown Baptist church,
not many Allow the Holy Spirit to reveal that truth ,
if you want to join us please come and participate in the great love of Jesus

The church has an excellent and safe service. The pastor is very open and kind. I really appreciate the journey I have gone on with this church and will continue to only bless it ❤

Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom. So if your looking for freedom come and encounter His presence. Holy Spirit is alive and in us. Amen

Growing in the knowledge of The Lord ???
There is always more…

My grandfather, Alf Edwards, and my brother, Peter Edwards, turned the sod for the new church on the corner of Stanley and Leonard Streets, Bankstown.
My grandfather was a deacon, editor of the church newspaper "The Chronicle" and caretaker of Fairhaven Homes, Padstow Heights. He also grew all of the flowers for the church and halls in our backyard in Percy Street, Bankstown
My grandmother, Margaret (Lil) Edwards, was a member of the Ladies Guild and arranged the flowers for the church and halls.
My father, Thomas Edwards, and mother, Elsie Perriotte, were married in the old church, which faces Leonard Street, Bankstown, in 1956.
My brother, Peter (Rev Lockyer); my sister, Sharon (Rev Butchard); and I, Kerrie (Rev Marks); were all dedicated in the old church.
My brother was a member of the Boy's Brigade. My sister and I were in the Cadets, and then the Girl's Brigade.
