We are a unique Baptist congregation with an open heart, an ecumenical spirit, and a focus on the main thrusts of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We are committed to the mission of Jesus Christ here in Durham and around God’s globe. We are grounded in the mainstream of the Christian faith of the past 2000 years. Our center is Jesus Christ. Our text is the Bible. Our teacher is the Holy Spirit. Our method is to love by being servants to each other.

Teenagers will find fellowship and challenge in our highly acclaimed youth space called “The Attic.” College students will find a small group and a congregation that cares about them.
