Faith Baptist Church
About Us
Thank you for your interest in Ninth Street Baptist Church.
We are honored to be able to introduce you to Ninth Street Baptist Church, but more importantly to our Lord Jesus Christ. Ninth Street Baptist is a family of believers in Jesus Christ who have been transformed by His grace and desire to become more like Him. This process of becoming more like Him is what our church is all about. We would love for you to join us on this journey. Jesus said, "...I have come that you might have life, and that you might have it more abundantly." (John 10:10b) As we worship and serve Him, we will grow together and experience the abundant life that He came to give us.
It's my prayer that as you observe, interact or even join us, that you find a family that is welcoming, loving and growing. But more than being impressed with Ninth Street Baptist Church, I pray that you will be impressed with our Lord Jesus Christ and the grace that He extends to all. Whether you still have questions, are new in your faith, or have been following Jesus for a long time, you are welcome here just as you are. Ninth Street Baptist Church is a place you can grow and use your gifts to serve Him....Consider this your invitation to come.
