Hawthorn West Baptist Church are people who live in Hawthorn (and Hawthorn East), Kew, Richmond, Canterbury, Ivanhoe and other nearby suburbs in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. We gather regularly in our building, homes and cafes.

Because of Jesus' transforming life, restoring death, and death-destroying resurrection, we gather together to love and serve each other and our community – confident that the God who made the world, is madly in love with us all! Find out More

We are an Australian Baptist Church. Quite different to Southern Baptists!

“To be a community of people woven together by the transforming love of Jesus, compelled to pursue intimacy with God, as we celebrate each other’s joys, share each other’s struggles, welcome our neighbours, and desire justice and mercy for all.”
