About

We welcome you to College Street Baptist Church!

We invite you to explore our web page, become a part of our family, and to come worship with us!

We are a loving and compassionate family of God who prayerfully commit to go and bring people to Jesus Christ, teach people to be like Christ, show God's love by helping people, and enjoy God in worship.

Our Vision Statement defines both who we are and what we are becoming! We seek to be a loving and compassionate family of God. With open hands and heart we invite you to discover a home with our family.

You will find here a Christ-filled spirit of fellowship, worship, discipleship, ministry, and evangelism (the five Biblical functions of the church). You will also find here a Spirit-filled and dedicated church staff that is always ready to serve in a Christ-like spirit.

Our commitment as a family is founded upon prayer. Jesus Christ said, My house will be a house of prayer for all the nations. That's what Jesus Christ wanted for his church. Simply put, prayer is talking to God and listening to Him. Prayer is the pathway for intimacy with God. We desire intimacy with God.

Our commitment is fourfold. First, we seek to go out in the name of Christ and bring people to Christ. We believe that Jesus Christ can change your life. Second, we attempt to teach people to be like Christ. Through Sunday School, Discipleship Training, Missions Organizations, and the Preaching and Teaching ministry of this church we seek to teach the truth and witness of Holy Scripture. Third, we aim to reach out to persons in need. We believe in local, state, national and foreign missions -- in essence, we believe in "total missions". No need is too small; no need is too great! Fourth, we seek to enjoy God in worship. Through worship, we attempt to draw near to God, and to grow closer together as a family of God.

In the Bible, Jesus told a story about a banquet table. In that story, everyone is invited to the table of fellowship and feasting. At College Street Baptist Church, our major mission is to invite everyone to Christ. When people come to the banquet table, they will be treated to a feast prepared by the host, Jesus Christ. Every time we gather through small groups, or through our worship experiences, we seek to take part in the feast prepared by Jesus Christ.

It is our prayer that this web-site will be another tool in accomplishing our mission as we journey to be more like Christ.
