Big News! 🎉

What began first as Starling Road Baptist Church for over 50 years, then replanted as Exchange Church in Arnold is now officially Covenant Baptist Church at Arnold!

Over the last two years, we’ve walked together through the book of Genesis, and God reminded us again and again that a name means something.

From monuments named to remember God’s faithfulness…
to moments where God changed identities—like Abram to Abraham…
to countless stories where names carried purpose, promise, and calling…

We realized we had lost some of that understanding along the way.
After COVID hit our church hard, we found ourselves wrestling with who we were… and whose we were. God met us in that struggle.

He rebuilt us. He clarified our identity. And He reminded us: names matter because identity matters.

And now, as we step forward, we’re embracing that identity fully as Covenant Baptist Church at Arnold.

Covenant reminds us that we belong to a God who keeps His promises—always. It’s a word that points back to Scripture, to God’s unshakeable commitment to His people, and to our commitment to follow Him faithfully. It anchors us in identity, mission, and hope.

Going back to Baptist in our name connects us to our church history rooted in Scripture, discipleship, believer’s baptism, and the importance of the Gospel to save sinners.

Church centers us in community, calling, and Christ.

Put together, Covenant Baptist Church declares who we are:
A people defined by God’s promises, grounded in His Word, and united as His family.

This isn’t just a name change—it’s a restart with renewed purpose. Since our replant in 2019, God has been shaping us, grounding us, and calling us to take hold of our true identity in Christ. And now, we’re stepping confidently into that identity.

Same mission. Same heart. A fresh beginning rooted deeply in Jesus.
We’re excited for what God has in store, and we’d love for you to pray with us, join us, or simply celebrate this new chapter alongside us.

Our launch Sunday Service will be Easter Sunday, April 5th at 10:45am at 2384 Starling Airport Rd, Arnold MO 63010.

The best is ahead! 🙌

A Message from our Lead Pastor, Jimmy Dunn:

Please be in prayer for Exchange Church in Arnold

It has been a meaningful and humbling journey over the last several years, and we want to share where we’ve been and where the Lord is leading us next.

We replanted our church on Easter Sunday, 2019, launching with about 75 members and strong momentum under our then lead pastor. God was clearly at work—but like many churches, COVID dramatically disrupted that momentum. By 2021, our congregation had dwindled to around 12 faithful members, most of whom were faithful widowed women who lovingly held the church together during a very difficult season. Shortly after, our lead pastor was called to a new mission field.

In August 2021, I was voted in as lead pastor, and by God’s grace, a slow and steady work of renewal began. Today, we are thankful to say that we are averaging around 80 in attendance, made up of devoted covenant members, young families, and seasoned saints. We are truly a multigenerational church, worshiping and serving together.

At the start of 2025, we began a prayerful process to redesign and relaunch our church. The reason is simple: the people who make up this local church today are not the same as they were in 2019. While the name Exchange Church was faithfully given by our previous lead pastor, we believe this season calls for a renewed identity—one that clearly reflects who we are now and what we want to be known for in our community.

Alongside this redesign, we have also been doing important work behind the scenes. We have restructured our policies and bylaws more thoroughly than ever before and developed a clear organizational structure to help the church function faithfully and healthily for years to come.

This past Sunday, the church voted and narrowed our direction down to three possible church names. From these, one will be chosen and officially launched and unveiled to our community for Easter Sunday 2026.

We are deeply grateful for God’s faithfulness through every season—growth, loss, pruning, and renewal. As we step into this next chapter, we ask you to pray for wisdom, unity, and clarity as we move forward together.

Soli Deo Gloria.

The best days are ahead—not because of a name, but because Christ is building His Church!
