Murdock Baptist Church is a loving fellowship following Jesus.  We are not perfect, but Jesus is.  We desire to know Him personally, grow in our understanding and practice of His teachings, serve those around us, and share what He has done-and is doing-in our lives.

Engage with Faith in a Baptist Church

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.

Be discerning

Salvation Testimonials

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.

I decided to follow Him, and it is the best decision I ever made!

This former atheist is now all in for the Gospel of my Lord and Savior. I now teach His Word.

Determined to follow Him Alone…

It was during a special service at our church, a revival, that I heard the question, “What has changed in your life since you trust Jesus Christ”?

I was a life long Catholic, but never new…

For the first 50 years of my life, I was a Catholic — baptized as a child, went to catechism, and followed the traditions. But rarely read the word of God.

A visiting preacher read from Romans 8:1, then I changed.

I was broken until I heard Romans 8:1! The tears would not stop; the guilt was gone, and a tremendous weight had been lifted from me. I was so at peace!

It took a death to turn my life around… I’m the oldest of four sibling. My parents divorced when I was 8 years old making my mom’s plate full working outside of the home and caring for four small children.
