Dayspring Baptist Church

Dayspring Baptist Church Seeking God. Practicing Peace. Creating Community. We have ministered to the St. Louis area for over 125 years, serving in a variety of locations. Dr. W.

As community, we provide a place of belonging; as faithful followers of Christ, we seek to honor our deepest longing for God. Now we're delighted to welcome you to our new home near 1-270 and I-64. A Brief History of the Life We Share

Our church began when thirty-seven Baptists met to organize a congregation on Garrison Avenue in 1877. Pope Yeamon was our first pastor. Two years later our lease e

xpired, and we were forced to move—literally! Placed high atop rollers and drawn by horses, the chapel became part of a procession that lumbered slowly down the thoroughfare, two blocks west to a new location at Compton and Morgan. The newspapers saw us as indomitable, nicknaming the congregation “The Church on Wheels.” The moniker remained appropriate as we moved three more times during the next forty years, finally purchasing land and building a new sanctuary at the corner of Skinker and Washington. Here Delmar Baptist Church served for almost seventy-five years and grew to almost 1400 members. In 1990, after years of struggling to meet the needs of our changing neighborhood, we decided to sell our property to New Cote Brilliante Church of God. A gracious invitation from Salem-in-Ladue United Methodist Church provided us with a new place to worship and serve. After a nine-year sojourn with our Methodist brothers and sisters, and after much prayerful discernment, we decided to take another leap of faith. In 1998, we dedicated our new sanctuary in Town and Country. We celebrated our 125th Anniversary in 2002. After all these years, we remain on the move, seeking to honor the ever-new, ever-surprising movement of God’s Spirit. Our new beginning has been colored by hopeful enthusiasm and substantial growth, as we strive to connect with our neighbors, dream new dreams and launch new programs. The warmth and dedication of our congregation is a strong legacy to the faithful who supported the church throughout its rich and varied history.

It’s September 1 and Pastor Andrea is officially on Sabbatical. If you miss her, she says you can just swing by her office and say hello to the giant photo residing in her chair. 😂 We’re excited for her and for our congregation, and we look forward to reconnecting in November.
