A Faith Family Learning to Trust God More

We are a community of people who are in process. We have imperfect, messy lives, but are pursuing and experiencing a transforming relationship with Jesus and with each other. Our one goal is to lead people in a growing relationship with Jesus. We try to do this with every interaction we have - whether on Sunday mornings at our service, or at any of our many ministries and outreaches. Everybody is welcome here, whatever your story, your questions, your doubts, or struggles. We’re all about doing life together in community, being intentional about our growth as people and Christ-followers, and serving one another and our community along the way.

Our History & Beliefs

Our church began in 1980 out of the Southern Baptist outreach to the Winter Olympics here in Lake Placid. From the beginning, a small group of believers recognized the unique opportunity they had to share the good news of Jesus Christ with those living in this mountain village and with those visiting from all over the world.

Our church is affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, the Baptist Convention of New York, and the Adirondack Baptist Association. We adhere to the Baptist Faith and Message.
