Mission:
"To be a thriving church that reaches and build people to be Christ-like." Historic Washington Avenue Baptist Church is a progressive church that focuses on God through dynamic worship, relevant preaching, relevant teaching, and effective ministry. Our worship services are a blend of traditional, charismatic, and contemporary styles. The ultimate aim is that our diverse,

intergenerational congregation, will have a profound encounter with God (in their own way) before they leave our public worship experiences.
