A Landmark

Our vision is to be a landmark. We want our church to attract people to join a community of meaningful relationships. We want our church to be a source of inspiration for those seeking to worship. We want our church to be a point of reference for those looking for God or who may have lost their way. We want our church to be a rallying point for teams, giving people a reason to serve. We want our church to be a launching point for missions. Finally we want our church to be a vantage point for vision.

We are so glad that you have come and we invite you to make this vision a reality. We would love to see you connected in meaningful relationships, participating in inspiring worship, growing in holiness, serving others with your unique gifts and passions, and gaining a vision for what God has planned for your life. Join us.

Our History

In 2001, we celebrated our 125th anniversary as a church. We are affiliated with the North American Baptist Conference. In 1869, a small nucleus of believers began meeting in a schoolhouse six miles north of Steamboat Rock. Because of the distance, members found it difficult to attend with any degree of regularity. Thus in November of 1876, the German Baptist Church in Steamboat Rock was founded. Construction on a church building on the present site was completed and dedicated in 1954 and the new addition in 1996. The brick parsonage was built in 1929. We are grateful that our ancestors had tremendous faith in God and such love for Him that they established this church.
