Murdock Baptist Church is a loving fellowship following Jesus. We are not perfect, but Jesus is. We desire to know Him personally, grow in understanding and following His teaching, serve those around us, and desire to tell others about what He has done and is doing in our lives.
Jesus’ call to follow him is more than an invitation to pray a prayer. It is a summons to lose your life and find new life and ultimate joy in him.
The work of our ministries work together to develop spiritually strong children of God, who faithfully follow Jesus Christ. Meet with our ministries to start.
Let us help you plan a visit. If you’re planning a visit to our church for the first time, we can’t wait to welcome you and introduce you to our faithful community.
Whatever your life is missing, God can help you find it. Let us show you how. Explore our church; meet our leaders; become a church member. Choose to faith and joy.
Can’t make it in person? Then view our live stream service at home or on the road. Video will appear here at the time of service 9:30 a.m., Sunday’s.
As one of the best ways to become involved in the Murdock Baptist Church community, our Life Groups help members support each other as they deepen their relationship with God. Each small group is dedicated to fellowship with one another, praying for each other, and strengthen each other in living by God’s holy word.
