About Meridian Baptist Church...
Meridian Baptist Church was formed as a mission in 1956 by
people who loved and lived in Meridian community. In 1969, we
became a cooperating Southern Baptist church with a heart for
missions and for the lost.
In
the past few years, Meridian has grown from a two classroom
small sanctuary building to its present new sanctuary building
with a modern nursery, ten
classrooms, and spacious modern kitchen and fellowship hall. God
has poured out His blessings at Meridian. Praise Him!
Our
youth are led by committed Christians in the Lord's work. Not
only do they teach the Word of God through Bible study, and
everyday application in daily living, but they involve the youth
in Christian fellowship activities, and mission work. How
beautiful it is to see youth at the altar in prayer!
Children
at Meridian are an honored treasure and blessing! We receive
them just as Christ did...with open arms and a loving attitude.
As soon as the children meet our children's ministry team, they fall in love
with them, for they have the radiant smile of Christ that shines
from within. They have the same tender, loving, warm, and
compassionate heart that Jesus has for His children. Here at
Meridian, your child will learn about Jesus, how to honor their
parents, respect for others, and for themselves. "Suffer
the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for
such is the kingdom of God."

From
the Pastor...
My
heart's desire is that all people come to know Jesus Christ in a
real, personal way and then to grow as Christians The Lord died
so we could do just that. Meridian Baptist Church is dedicated
to the call of seeing the lost come to Christ and the saved
becoming disciples.
For
Christians to love people just the way they are is what I
believe that Jesus wants His church to do. Meridian is just that
kind of church. I have no doubt that you will be welcome and
loved if you attend any of our services.
I
am very excited about what God is doing at Meridian. We've seen
miraculous things take place in the past and fully expect God to
continue blessing. Honestly, there is no other place in the
world I'd personally rather worship.
If
you would like to be part of a loving growing church, alive with
the Spirit of Christ, then give us a visit. We would sincerely
love the privilege of worshiping with you. God bless you.
