What kind of a Baptist church are you?
Answer: We are Southern Baptist but mostly we're Christian. We are affiliated with the Blue River - Kansas City Baptist Association, the Missouri Baptist Convention and the Southern Baptist Convention. Yet we have sympathies toward other Baptist and other Evangelical Christian entities and hold firmly to the historic position that Baptist Churches are fully autonomous and may affiliate with whomever they so choose in a cooperative covenant relationship.
What size is your congregation?
Answer: Sunday morning attendance in the worship service is usually below 50. Seldom does attendance go below 20 and occasionally the attendance swells into the mid to high 50s.
What do you offer families with children?
Answer: Authentic Christian fellowship. We are not phoney with one another. Sometimes our rough edges show, but we truly love one another and bear with one another when our growing edges get exposed. We are resolved to reconcile and forgive instead of give up and bug out. We have a strong ministry to teenagers with a vibrant Youth Group that goes on mission trips and other outings every year including places like Tchula, Mississippi; Nashville, Tennessee; Louisville, Kentucky; Puerto Rico; Everett, Washington; and Toledo, Ohio. The Youth Group has gone to XTREME WINTER in Branson, Missouri for the past several years and plans to go next in December, 2007. There is extended child care provided for children under five during the worship service. On Wednesdays, the Youth Group (Junior & Senior High students) meets at 6:30 p.m.Children in Action (CiA) is offered for boys and girls in grades 1 - 3. Right now there is no Wednesday program offering for per-school children. We do have graded Sunday School classes for all ages.
Do you favor contemporary or traditional worship music? Do you always sing out of the hymnal?
We offer a Blended Worship Service format. Sometimes when the young people who make up our Praise Band can all come, well then we have a praise band and a contemporary sound. When the Praise Band cannot all be together, then we plan a more traditional worship service.
