About Us
On behalf of our Church, welcome to our website.
Faith Baptist Church is a Confessional, Reformed, Baptist congregation. As a Confessional church, we adhere to
the New Hampshire Confession of Faith as the best summary for the teaching found in the Bible and to the five Solas
of the Reformation. As a Reformed church, we believe in the doctrines of grace and have traditional worship focused on
prayer, hymn and Psalm singing, Scripture reading, observing the ordinances, and preaching. As a Baptist church, we believe
that only regenerate individuals should be baptized by immersion and that the local congregation is autonomous. We trace our
heritage back to the Particular Baptists in the 17th Century of England. Our church shares similar doctrinal beliefs with
Andrew Fuller, William Carey, and Charles Spurgeon.
This Church’s goal is to have the Biblical teaching warm our hearts to worship God and tell others about Him. We accomplish
it by preaching God’s Word with application to our soul. Through preaching Christ crucified, prayer, and loving one another,
Jesus Christ will build His Church for His glory.
I invite you to come to our Sunday service at 11:00am. We would enjoy meeting you and answering any questions.

Our History
In 1978, Faith Baptist Church started meeting in homes. The Hardens, Webbers, and Walkers served as the founding members. The church eventually rented the upstairs of Slaughter Printing to hold their meetings. When the Church of God built a new building on the south side of Kirksville, Faith Baptist Church bought their old building which is the church’s current location.
