who are we?
We are the only Baptist congregation in Greensboro that is welcoming and affirming of everyone who follows Jesus as Lord. Being radically inclusive is not our thing—our thing is radically following Jesus, or doing the best we can, or that every least trying not to embarrass Jesus by our following. Some would call us liberal or moderate. We are an inclusive, fun faith community in Greensboro, North Carolina, where persons from all walks of life feel comfortable worshiping and working together to bring Christ's love to the world. We are not affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention. We are affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA, Alliance of Baptists and Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. Read more.
