ABOUT US
Wilson Avenue Baptist Church is a community of believers. What does that mean, the word community? We believe that together in fellowship we grow closer to God and one another. The Bible speaks about iron sharpening iron. We believe that together we grow stronger. We are a community of believers.
Our church strives to be a church without walls. Jesus calls for us to go outside the walls to reach the lost and the broken. It is there that the lost will be found. Wilson Avenue makes an effort to be like the church from the book of Acts, to see our city changed.
Wilson Avenue highly values our relationships with one another. We look to grow through fellowship, and ultimately growing closer to God. We value the word of God, and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We look to extend grace to all of the lost and broken, and lead those with no hope to the hope of Jesus Christ.
WHO WE ARE
OUR MISSION
Wilson Avenue Baptist Church is people helping people find and follow Jesus. We belive the church is people and we are called as a community to help people experience Jesus and grow in their faith.
OUR VISION
All are welcome to explore what Jesus has to offer. Come as you are and just be open to taking a step of faith. Engaging in Next Steps is how we put our faith in action and live out what it means to be a disciple of Christ. Whether your Next Step is baptism, serving, or joining a small group, we have a Next Step that’s right for you.
OUR APPROACH
Whether you’re looking for friends, ways to connect, or growth in your spiritual journey, we've got something for you. Every weekend at Wilson Avenue, we teach different truths about God from the Bible. We believe in the power that He has to transform our lives. To grow spiritually we have to connect relationally. Groups are the best way to build Christian community and grow spiritually. We have all different types of groups meeting in different spaces and places.
