Greetings From Pastor Derek Spain
|
||
|
Our mission is to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ
|

God is at work in
New York. We are excited to be part of what He is doing. He is
building a church of committed believers whose primary passion is
seeing people of all ages come to know Jesus Christ as Savior and
Lord.
When you worship
with us at Lake Placid Baptist Church, you will find people from
many different walks of life, who live in many towns and villages in
the Adirondacks, who come from many different religious backgrounds.
You will often find guests from all over the country or even all
over the world. You will find that everyone is welcome. Exciting,
friendly and loving are three words that accurately describe the
atmosphere here.
Sunday morning Bible studies begin at 9:00 AM. We have Bible studies for all ages: babies, preschool, children, teenagers, and several Bible studies for adults. Sunday morning worship begins at 10:15 AM, and Sunday evening prayer time begins at 6:30 PM.
Our worship
services are focused on Jesus Christ. The foundation of our worship
is teaching from the Word of God. We study the Bible together,
applying its truths to our lives in the 21st century. We
believe the Bible is very relevant for our lives today. You will
find the music in our worship services to be contemporary in style
on Sunday mornings and more traditional on Sunday evenings. All of
the songs we sing exalt the name of Christ and provide a way for us
to worship Him. Other elements in our worship services include
prayer, personal stories of faith, and Communion on a
regular basis.
On Wednesday
nights at 6:30 PM, we provide ministries to strengthen the lives of individuals
and families.
We have Bible study programs for preschoolers and children
that the kids love. We utilize videos, games, Bible stories, music
and more to teach kids the Bible in a fun way. Teens (grades 6-12)
meet for Generation Youth Ministry.
Adults can choose from two or
more Bible studies that deal with real-life issues such as finances,
relationships, purpose, success and more. On Wednesday nights
there is something for everyone.
So whether you
are going to be in the Adirondacks for only a short time or if this
area is your home, we would love for you to join us at Lake Placid
Baptist Church. Our faith in Jesus Christ is authentic, and we would
love to worship with you. I would like to invite you to contact me
personally at
dgspain@msn.com or via
telephone at 518-523-2008 if there are any questions that I might be
able to answer for you.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. Our desire is that it will help you know all you need to know about our church, but more importantly that it will build up your faith in Jesus. We have included links and resources here that will help you as you seek Christ in your everyday life. We look forward to seeing you soon.
For HIS glory, Pastor Derek
“In your heart set apart Jesus as Lord. And always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks you the reason for the hope that you have. Do this with gentleness and respect.” 1 Peter 3:15
