Welcome to Midway !

What to Expect

Visiting a church for the first time can be frightening. So, to calm your fears, we thought we’d let you know what you can expect. At Midway, you will find a welcoming atmosphere where people wear everything from jeans and t-shirts to suits.

Sundays at Midway are a wonderful time of worship and fellowship. Bring your Bible to follow the message through the Scriptures. Bibles are available at the Welcome Center, if you need one.

Musical worship is Christ-focused and God-honoring–our choir and praise band lead the congregation in traditional hymns as well as contemporary worship songs. Youth, 6th grade and older, attend these services. KIDZ Church (1st-5th grade) is offered during both worship services as well.

If you have any questions or need directions, visit one of our two Welcome Centers located in the Family Life Center and Education Building lobbies or ask one of our greeters (they wear Midway lanyards). Here you can get directions to the nursery or children’s ministry locations…there is always someone willing to answer questions and help you find your way to the right place. We are excited that you’ve decided to join us and look forward to meeting you.

Who We Are

Our aim is for all worship to be Bible-based, Christ-centered, God-glorifying, Spirit-filled, and people-oriented. The Word of God is to be lived, so our messages are life applicable. Simply put, the message on Sunday will prepare you for Monday. It is our strong belief that God is no respecter of persons. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is for all who will repent of their sin and place their faith in Him as Lord and Savior. All are welcome to worship the Lord Jesus. We are a Family of Families who enjoy the wonder and excitement of worshipping and serving the Lord of Glory!

What We Believe

Midway Baptist Church is a member in the Southern Baptist Convention and stands firmly on the following beliefs:

There is one God, manifest in three distinct persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit;
That Jesus is the Son of God, was born of a virgin, was wholly God and wholly man, lived a sinless life, died as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of mankind, was buried, arose bodily from the grave and ascended into Heaven on the third day;
In the literal, imminent return of Jesus Christ to earth;
That the Bible is the Word of God without any error, the sole authority for life;
That man is a special creation of God, made in His image; That mankind fell through the sin of the first man, Adam, and that all men are sinners by nature and by choice and in need of salvation;
That salvation is a gift given through repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ;
That those persons who die in their sins spend eternity in Hell and those persons who die with their sins forgiven spend eternity in Heaven;
That baptism is in obedience to the command of Christ and is by immersion after salvation;
That the church is a local body of baptized believers with the Lord Jesus Christ as the head;
That each believer has direct access to God through the Lord Jesus Christ;
In the separation of church and state, but not in the separation of God and government.

How To Know Jesus Christ

My friend, have you given your life to the Lord? Do you have the assurance that if you were to die right now, you would go straight to heaven? If not, please let us tell you how you can be saved.

Admit Your Need First, you must understand that you are a sinner by nature and by choice. The Bible says, “All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Rom.3: 23).

Abandon Self-Effort Second, you must understand that you cannot save yourself by your efforts. The Bible is very clear that it’s “not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy He saved us.” (Titus 3:5) Again, “By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourself: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Eph.2: 8-9)

Acknowledge Christ’s Payment Third, you must believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for your sins. The Bible says, “God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Rom.5:8) That means He died in your place. Your sin debt has been paid by the blood of Jesus Christ, which “cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)

Accept Jesus Christ as Savior Fourth, you must put your faith in Jesus Christ and Him alone for your salvation. The Bible says, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” (Acts 16:31) Have you ever taken this all-important step of faith? If not, we urge you to do it right now, for Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh to the Father but by Me.” (John 14:6)

Will you offer the following prayer to God today? “O God, I’m a sinner, I’m lost, and I need to become a follower of Jesus. I know I can’t save myself, so right now, once and for all, I trust You to save me. Come into my life, forgive my sin, and make me Your child. I give You my life. I will live for You as You give me strength.” If you will make this heartfelt prayer, God will hear and save you! Jesus has promised He will not turn away anyone who comes to Him by faith (John 6:37). He will make you a child of God if you will repent and turn to Him. (John 1:12)
