Our mission at Starkey Road Baptist Church is to 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 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 ministry.

• Corporate Worship is where we find Jesus, whether as a long-time believer or a new seeker. When we gather together in corporate worship, we worship through song and by opening the Word of God to see Jesus fresh and new.
• Small Group Discipleship is where we learn more deeply what it means to follow Jesus and how to live out our Christian faith in the world, being a witness for Him wherever we are. 

• Humble Service is where we use our gifts to share Jesus. Whether you serve in the nursery, as a Bible teacher, on the worship team, or anywhere else in the church, that service is the opportunity we have to share Jesus with others.

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. 

Romans 3:23 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)." 

Jesus came to overcome the sin that stands in the way of us and God. Jesus lived a perfect life and was crucified on the 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). 

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). 

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.
