Connect, Grow, Serve

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.

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.

AWANA Store

Wednesday nights for our children are full of Scripture memory and fun! Throughout the year they earn “bucks” to spend at the store. Children look forward to this so much! Your generous donations allow them to spend their hard earned money. Donations Needed! We’re collecting new or gently used items for children! Ideas include fidget toys, art supplies, or even fun edible treats like hot chocolate mixes and giant candy canes. Please place donations in the bin located in the Fellowship Hall by April 29th.

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…

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.
