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.

Join us on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. in the Main Auditorium

Life Groups
Faithfully connect with others for fellowship and accountability
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.

Jesus is important to us because through His Atonement, teachings, hope, peace, and example, He helps us change our lives, face our trials, and move forward with faith as we journey back to Him and His Father.
See how Jesus made a difference in the lives below.
I decided to follow Him, and it is the best decision I ever made!
