We are a relatively large church: Though we did not set out to be large, God has increased our numbers as we have sought to be faithful to Him. For many years it has been the vision of the church to have an influence in the community in which we live, and this is primarily expressed as a church committed to being "people on mission everyday" offering a distinct Christian presence across most industries and networks in Alice Springs.

We are a contemporary church: This simply means that we seek to be relevant to our culture. We believe that the church, while distinct in its decision to embrace the way of Jesus (kingdom), should communicate and relate in a way that can be understood and entered into by the people of our world.

We are a socially aware church: We are a church that is acutely aware of the social issues that afflict our town and create enormous pain, disadvantage and family breakdown upon our indigenous brothers and sisters and broader population, particularly the young. As a living witness to our church and town community the Alice Springs Baptist Church has determined that alcohol will not be a part of our church culture. For this reason, alcohol is not a part of any functions or activities conducted in the name of the Alice Springs Baptist Church or on its property.

We are a charismatic church: We fully expect God to equip and empower us, by the Holy Spirit, as we go about the work of Christian service and ministry, bringing kingdom impact and extending kingdom invitation using the spiritual gifts and wisdom that God has entrusted us with.

We are a diverse church: People join with us from many different church traditions and different cultures. In our diversity we grow to understand more of what it means to really be a church united by Jesus.

We are an isolated church: While we exist within the Alice Springs community we are far from our wider Baptist Church family, and most of us find ourselves far from our own extended families. In our isolation there is opportunity for us to grow and to know the church as family.
