About Us

Wilhite Baptist Church is a community of believers. What does that mean, the word community? We believe that together in fellowship we grow closer to God and one another. The Bible speaks about iron sharpening iron. We believe that together we grow stronger. We are a community of believers.

Wilhite Baptist Church strives to be a church without walls. Jesus calls for us to go outside the walls to reach the lost and the broken. It is there that the lost will be found. Wilhite Baptist Church makes an effort to be like the church from the book of Acts, to see our city changed.

Wilhite Baptist Church highly values our relationships with one another. We look to grow through fellowship, and ultimately growing closer to God. We value the word of God, and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We look to extend grace to all of the lost and broken, and lead those with no hope to the hope of Jesus Christ.

Following the instruction in Acts 1:8, we will fulfill our purpose of making disciples, maturing believers, and multiplying ministers...
