  • Mission

    We are a welcoming and affirming Christian community seeking to continue the ministry of Jesus. Here we seek to live out our faith through active mission involvement in this community and beyond. We seek to support that mission with vital ministries of worship, education, and caring community.

    It is the practice and policy of Watts Street Baptist Church to welcome and affirm all persons, regardless of race, class, origin, sexual orientation, or any other distinction. Within our community, women serve equally with men in all areas of our church’s life.

    We welcome as Members those who profess “Jesus is Lord.” We receive members through baptism or by transfer of letter from another congregation. We also welcome Friends who maintain membership elsewhere.
