Who We Are – About Us
We want to see Kingdom Life across the city …
At Countess Free Church Ely, our heart beats for the city. We are a vibrant, welcoming community on a mission to share the life-changing power of Jesus Christ across Ely. As a lively, Baptist church, we joyfully embrace people of all ages and walks of life, united by a shared desire to follow Jesus and bring His Kingdom to every corner of our city.
We are always listening, learning, and pioneering new ways to reach out to our community. Whether it’s through compassionate words or meaningful actions, we confidently share the love of Jesus with those around us, fostering a deep sense of belonging. Our church is more than a gathering—it’s an extended family where everyone is invited to experience the warmth of true community.
We are committed to nurturing faith, from the youngest to the oldest, the curious newcomers to the wise and seasoned. Everyone has a place, a purpose, and a part to play in our journey together, as we grow in discipleship and live out the communal love of God.
In all that we do, we seek to worship, we seek to serve, and we seek to bring Kingdom Life to the heart of our city.
