Our Vision & Mission

At Starkey Road Baptist Church, we  help people Find, Follow, and Share Jesus Christ.

The Church is God's people, those saved by the grace of God through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ and baptized into the body of Christ through the Holy Spirit. The local church is God's people gathered together in order to edify and build each other up to send out the equipped to carry the gospel to all the world.

Our Desire is to:

Restore

Equip

Send

Restore the broken; restore those disillusioned with the church back to the church; restore the lost to a saving relationship with Christ. Starkey Road is committed to praying, worshipping, and preaching the Word because we know that restoration comes only through Christ.
Equip the saints. We want our people to be equipped through discipleship, education, and service. this equipping comes from being in a worship service, committing to personal growth through a Life Group, and serving others with our unique gifting.
Send the church. The church is not a building but a people, and by sending the church we are sending followers of Christ into their communities and around the world. We desire that our people participate in short-term missions’ trips, that some would become full-time missionaries, pastors, and church planters, and that all would pray and share the Gospel in their own spheres of influence.

Our Strategy

Our mission will only be accomplished through the working of the Holy Spirit in and through the lives of God’s people. We believe there are three things that every believer should make a priority: Corporate Worship, Small Group Discipleship, and Humble Service in a ministry.

The Gospel

If you've ever wondered if you can know if there is a heaven, and if you can go there, the good news is that the Bible clarifies the answer. 

We are Separated from God by Sin

Romans 3:32 says "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". No matter how much good we do, nothing can bring us closer to God's standard of righteousness. As long as we fall short, we face the reality that "the wages of sin is death"
(Romans 6:23)

God Provided a Solution

Jesus came to overcome the sin that stands in the way of us and God. Jesus lived a perfect life, and was crucified on a cross. God took every sin you've ever committed and put it on Jesus. He became your substitute, dying in Your place. (Romans 5:8)

Our Belief in Jesus sets us Free from Sin

Jesus didn't stay dead on the cross, on the third day, he rose from the grave to offer life, forgiveness, and salvation to anyone who believes in Him. Jesus didn't come to make bad people good, He  came so dead people could live. So that you, separated from God by your sin, could be forgiven. (John 3:16)

What Now?

When you tell God you've put your faith in Jesus, then you are forgiven and adopted into His family. You may not feel any different, but the Gospel is about facts, not feelings. If you believe in Christ, then you've been forgiven, and He has come into your life.
