Oure Baptist church is the oldest Baptist church in Denmark. It was consecrated 15th November 1857.

The church is designed by the congregation’s first priest, Jens Andreas Petersen who was a joiner. The members of the congregation made great efforts in the building of the church.

The church is a typical Baptist church. There is no altar, but behind the communion table is the open baptismal dip and behind it a big bare cross. That the cross is bare symbolises the Gospel preaching about a living saviour.
