Whether you are exploring the Christian faith or looking for a church home, you are welcome here. Come worship with us, bring your questions, and get to know the people who make Elmwood a family.

Our mission

Sharing Christ. Making disciples.

The gospel

Keep the good news of Jesus Christ at the center of our worship and our lives.

Our neighbors

Share the hope of Christ with people in our community and around the world.

Growing faith

Help one another follow Jesus through Bible teaching, prayer, and service.

What we believe

Our faith rests in Jesus Christ.

We are an independent, fundamental Baptist church. We believe the Bible is God’s Word and use the Authorized King James Version in our ministries. Salvation is God’s gift, received through faith in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose again.

The most important thing

How to be saved

More than anything on this website, we want you to know how you may have peace with God through the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible makes it plain.

  1. We have all sinned. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23
  2. Sin has a penalty. “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23
  3. Christ paid it for us. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8
  4. Call upon the Lord. “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13

If the Lord is dealing with your heart, we would count it a joy to open the Bible with you. Reach out to us →
