Leland Missionary Baptist Church

Growing and Loving Others in Jesus’ Name

Welcome to

OUR CHURCH

“To cultivate fully committed, Spirit-led disciples who grow in Christ, serve with excellence, consistency, and compassion, and are empowered to impact their families, community, and the world through the transforming power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”

“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.” — Proverbs 29:18 (KJV)

WHAT WE BELIEVE

WORSHIP

Worshipping God lies at the heart of Christian gratitude and service.  Of all that we do, praise and worship must be central.  Praise and worship are a blessed privilege where we give God our adoration, thanksgiving, and exaltation of Him.  True praise and worship can only be given by those who love Him. Our worship services have reached newer heights in recent years, and we look forward to moving even higher.  We are a church where both traditional and contemporary forms of music and worship are combined to give praise and glory to God.

Tithes and Offering

Leland Missionary Baptist Church honors the biblical model for church fundraising.  God instituted the tithes and offering in Holy Scriptures.  The New Testament writers and Jesus Christ, himself, made references to tithing as an appropriate offering unto God.  The biblical foundation for tithes and offering are derived from the following foundational texts:  

  • Malachi 3:10

  • Leviticus 27:30

  • 1 Corinthians 16:2

  • Hebrews 7:2,4

  • Matthew 23:23

  • Acts 4:34-37

Christian Education

In 2 Timothy 2:15, we are told:  “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman who needed not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”  Our church provides weekly bible studies to fit various schedules and needs.  Our foundation is our church school, which meets every Sunday at 9:30 am.  Our Bible Class meets on Tuesdays at 7:00 pm for focused (topical) and time-limited Bible study.  

Our Church hosts an Annual Vacation Bible School for our youth and adults.  We also participate in the National Baptist Congress of Christian Education, which meets every summer.   

Mission Statement

To teach the Word of God with clarity and practical life application, fostering spiritual growth, connecting people to their God-given purpose, and mobilizing believers for faithful service within the church and beyond its walls.

We fulfill this mission by:

Worshiping God in spirit and in truth

Serving our community with compassion

Building up the body of Christ in love

 

Scriptural Foundation for Ministry

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” — Matthew 28:19–20 (KJV)

Our vision and mission guide every ministry, decision, and expectation at Leland Missionary Baptist Church. All leaders, ministries, and members are expected to align their service, conduct, and stewardship with these principles.
