Kathleen Baptist Child Enrichment Center

Kathleen Baptist Church/The Charter Members of Kathleen Baptist Church - 1895 KATHLEEN BAPTIST CHURCH This church was established on September 14, 1895, by nine members of the Mt. Tabor Baptist Church. Services were initially held in a log structure on what is now Ross Creek Road. Baptisms took place at the mill pond just west of the creek's bridge. Within a year, the small congregation built a meeting house on this site, starting a history of building for worship and Christian education. The wood structure burned after being struck by lightning in 1914. Always a house of prayer, during World War II, her doors were open continually so requests were made for the young men of the church in active duty. All 21 returned home safely. Following Christ's teachings, the church reaches out to the community through feeding, clothing, and housing and music ministries. In 1987, the children's educational outreach was enhanced with the opening of the Child Enrichment Center. Her members have conducted missions in over 33 countries. To God be the glory!

May the God of peace make us do His will through our Lord Jesus Christ to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. May current and future members be faithful to this covenant.

Bible teaching and preaching that are true to the Word of God. Wonderful worship music. The children’s ministry is multi faceted with a child enrichment center for week day preschool education and before/after school care. The summer Vacation Bible School week is highly anticipated by the community. There’s a caring special needs class for youth and young adults. Come and experience why the church ‘s motto is “A touch of family.”

Great group of friendly people who really care about each other & their community. Casual dress. Preaching straight from the Bible, but not shoveling it down your throat. Little to no mention of asking people to give money before, during or after services. Mostly new aged Christian music played & sung, but occasionally a song or 2 might be sung as well. Nice mix of young & old crowd of people with & without children regularly attending. Wonderful Children's program, with staff that really have a heart for the kids. Once you start coming to the different weekly services they'll make sure to welcome you everytime & treat everyone like family. It's a great church. I recommend it 💯%..!!!

This is the only church to help my family when we needed it most. I can not express in words how grateful I am. 🙏 The people running this church are amazing.

I've been a member for nearly a year and it has been incredible ever since I first attended! I am in college and this church is welcoming to all ages and backgrounds. There are plenty of opportunities for everyone to learn and participate. All the staff is friendly and the pastors are especially kind. These folks base everything upon Scriptures in their teachings.
