Thank you for visiting our website. You will find information concerning West Baptist Church and our ministries. Our church is a loving and caring church; we want you to feel comfortable calling on us for any of your needs. We are here to serve Batesville and the surrounding areas. We want to be your church!
Bible study is an important part of our church. We have Sunday School classes for everyone in your family. Our worship Services are a blend of hymns and contemporary music. On Wednesday evening, we are involved in prayer service, STOP Student Ministries (7-12 grades), and Awana for the children (3yrs-6th grade). Nursery is provided for each of our Sunday and Wednesday activities.
I invite you to be our guest in any or all of these events and activities. Browse through the various areas of our website.
Have a Great Day,
