A Church on the Move!

At Golden Avenue Baptist Church, we are committed to living on mission for Jesus Christ. Through local ministries such as Golden Cares Food Pantry, Freeway West, our Discipleship Homes, and Manna Mobile, we are reaching people throughout our community with the love and hope of the Gospel.

This summer, Golden is also going global! Our teams will be serving through IMPACT events in Eminence, Missouri, with The River Fellowship, and in Harrison, Arkansas, with Calvary Baptist Church. We will also be taking a mission team to Chickasha, Oklahoma. In addition, Pastor Jeff is currently in Tanzania on a vision trip, exploring opportunities to establish an ongoing partnership that will send teams to East Africa each year.

Closer to home, we are excited to be a part of a Tent Revival at Mission University in Springfield, Missouri, July 10–14. We are praying for God to move in a powerful way as the Gospel is preached, believers are encouraged, and lives are transformed by Christ.

Everything we do is driven by the mission Jesus gave His church:

“And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’”

— Matthew 28:18–20 (ESV)

At Golden Avenue Baptist Church, we don't just talk about evangelism and discipleship—we actively engage in them. From food distribution to discipleship ministries, from local outreach to mission trips, from revival meetings to international partnerships, we are seeking to make disciples and share the Gospel wherever God opens a door.

Come be a part of living life on mission at Golden! Together, we are taking the Good News from our community to the nations. 🌎✝️

Sunday Recap:

What an incredible Sunday at Golden Avenue Baptist Church!

Pastor Andy preached from Matthew 6:16–18, challenging us with the importance of fasting and faithfully practicing this vital spiritual discipline. It was a powerful reminder that spiritual growth often comes through intentional devotion and surrender to the Lord.

We also celebrated two individuals who received their discipleship certificates after faithfully completing one-on-one discipleship. What a blessing to see believers growing deeper in their walk with Christ!

We had one voted in as a new member!

To top it all off, we witnessed two baptisms—powerful testimonies of lives changed by the grace of God and public declarations of faith in Jesus Christ.

God is moving in the hearts of people in West Springfield, and we are grateful to be a part of what He is doing.

If you're looking for a church home, we'd love for you to join us.

Real People. Real God. Real Difference.

Come be a part of it!

Update on the Ministry Home:

We’re grateful to share that the total raised has now reached $7,860.70! Every gift is a huge encouragement and a reminder that people believe in what God is doing here.

That leaves $32,140.30 still needed to finish transforming this home. What was once a place of brokenness is being rebuilt into a place of ministry, hope, and new beginnings.
Would you continue to pray with us? Pray for endurance, for provision, and that this home will one day impact many lives for Christ.

If you feel led to give or help in any way, we would be incredibly thankful. Every step forward matters.

Ministry isn’t just learned in a classroom — it’s learned in real life, alongside real people, through real service.

We are grateful for these two interns, Jacob and David, as they continue learning what ministry truly looks like day by day. From serving others to leading faithfully and growing spiritually, it’s been exciting to watch God shape them through hands-on ministry opportunities.

Invest in the next generation of leaders. It matters.

We are never more like God than when we forgive.

In Philemon 1:1–17, we see how the Gospel transforms relationships and empowers us to extend grace to those who have wronged us. Because Christ forgave us, we can forgive others.

🇺🇸 Memorial Day 🇺🇸

Today we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation. Their sacrifice reminds us that freedom is costly and should never be taken for granted.

As we gather with family and friends, may we also take time to reflect with gratitude, pray for the families of the fallen, and thank God for those who have faithfully served our country.

Jesus said, “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13).

While Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, it also points us to the greatest sacrifice ever made—Jesus Christ, who gave His life so that all who trust in Him might have eternal life.

Today, we remember. We honor. We give thanks.
