Pastor of Worship & Arts

Eudora Baptist Church is a growing, loving, intergenerational church of approximately 250 people. The desire of the church body is to love and glorify God as we pursue community over comfort, life change over numbers, and daily Christ-centered living over a Sunday-only experience.

Our Mission

Branching out to wandering souls; rooting them in Christ and His community

"Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers."

 Psalm 1:1-3 (ESV)

Values

Gospel Committed

We stand on an unwavering commitment to God’s Word and the bold proclamation of His truth.

(2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Prayer Laboring

We understand that a prayerful life is a powerful life. We will bathe our lives, our church, and our church’s leadership and ministry in “kingdom perspective” prayer. 

(1 Thess. 5:16-18; Ephesians 6:18) 

Globally Minded

We pursue a mission of reaching, not only the community of Eudora, but also every tribe, tongue, and nation with the gospel of Jesus.

(Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8) 

Open Armed

Jesus meets you where you are and so do we. We value people from all walks of life and incorporate a heartbeat of hospitality. 

(Hebrews 13:2; Romans 12:13) 

Intergenerational

We embrace the truth that different generations are not a barrier, but a benefit to building up and equipping the church.

(Titus 2) 

Spirit-Filled Contributors

We believe each born-again believer has been uniquely gifted and called by God into ministry to the church body and the world. 

(Ephesians 4:7-16; 1 Corinthians 12)
