We welcome you to College Street Baptist
Church! We invite you to "surf" our web page and to become a part of our family.
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.
