GOD WANTS TO DO GREAT THINGS THROUGH YOU!

ABOUT US

Amity Baptist Church is a community of believers. What does the word community mean? 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. 

 

Amity Baptist 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. Amity makes an effort to be like the church from the book of Acts, to see our city changed.

 

Amity Baptist Church 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 VISION

We strive to be a church that draws the lost, helpless, broken and hopeless, and develop them to be leaders so they can many be the same where ever they live, work and play. At Amity, we make an effort to be like the church from the book of Acts, to see our city changed.
