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 21^st 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. Our Sunday evening service is dedicated to worship and prayer.

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. You may also like to visit my blog: Whatever You Do... to learn more about what the Lord is doing in this part of the world, and about our desire to live lives that are sold out to Jesus Christ, for the glory of God.

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
