Who we are
About Us
What a blessing to be a member of the Israelite Baptist Church. May God continue to bless my church family.
Our purpose
A church family, not a crowd
Our purpose, as a church, is to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ, both in our corporate worship and in our individual lives, so that all might experience His new life as stated in John 10:10: I have come that they may have life, and may have it in abundance.
There was a time when people gathered in an atmosphere of genuine love for one another, a time when people were accepted unconditionally, regardless of ancestry, social status, or personal situation. They freely gave to each other according to need. Sometimes the need was food or money. Most often it was simple caring and support. That scene was the first century, the early days of Christianity, and it is the church we are still trying to be.
Our vision is to lead people into a dynamic relationship with Jesus Christ, as we allow Christ to live in and through us, minister in His name, and grow in understanding of His Word.
