Jesus Christ, our Savior, is in the battle of the ages for the souls of men. Join us at College Baptist Church--the “Gathering” church body, where we welcome you as old and new members through salvation and baptism! Come see what God is doing at the corner of 11th and Birdwell Lane. We are open on Sunday morning at 9:15 for Bible Study for all ages. Worship time is at 10:45 a.m. On Wednesday, our praying Youth groups start at 6 p.m. and have a fellowship meal between 6 and 6:45.

Our Service for October 10, 2021, will be a great time for families to gather and celebrate our God together. Our services are in the building, livestreaming, and on our Facebook page as well. Catch up on God’s perfect plan! Visitors, it was a such a joy to welcome you on Sunday. Come join us again—it will be exciting to welcome new faces and old alike. Our services are lively and worshipful.

As College Baptist Church continues on mission for our Lord, we are geared up for the new school year. Plans are being made for a Fall school event.

We definitely enjoy the worship time as our ministry team leads us in songs of praise, and where our pastor, Bro. Ken McMeans, inspires us as we delve into God’s Word. Come and study with us as to what it takes to really become a “turnaround, growing, dynamic church,” knowing God cares for us so much He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to save us. Focus on growth in Jesus as we continue into the year, as our pastor reminds us every Sunday, Jesus is coming soon! Please call: 432-267-7429 for more information concerning Men’s, Ladies’ and youth meetings at this great and friendly church. Pray that lives are changed by the power of our Savior, Jesus Christ our Cornerstone!

NazFamily Church

This Sunday

We know it is there, but no one wants to talk about it. How will people respond? It’s uncomfortable and challenging. For too long, we have avoided difficult conversations in the church. The longer we ignore them, the bigger the elephants grow. If you’ve wondered how to address issues like politics, pornography, sexuality, mental health, or racism from a biblical perspective, then you won’t want to miss this new series starting in September. It is time to discuss the Elephants in the Church.

Faith Promise

At NazFamily Church we believe that God is a missional God and He calls us to be a missional people. We are engaged in God’s mission both locally and globally. Each year we make Faith Promise commitments to support these mission efforts. Join us on Sunday, October 10, as we step out in faith to support what God is doing to transform lives around the world.

On Sunday, Oct. 3, Pastor Ricky continued his series entitled “Gifts that build the body of Christ”. In Romans 12, Pastor Ricky shared about the Gift of Exhortation.

The Gift of Exhortation is a powerful gift that causes change to take place in God’s people and inspire us to pass that encouragement along to others. The word encouragement or exhortation means to come “alongside of.” Let us come along side of those who need and encouraging word or exhort them with truth. Let us urge one another to be all that God wants them to be.

Come join us this Sunday as we look at what it means to have the gift of Giving.

We look forward to seeing you.
