At our church, we are a community united by faith, dedicated to spreading love, understanding, and healing. We believe in the transformative power of compassion and the enduring strength of our shared human spirit. Our doors are open to all who seek guidance, support, and a sense of belonging in their spiritual journey.
McClendon Baptist exists to passionately follow God and purposefully serve people. We realize our potential as individuals and as a church totally rests in God.
The Bible teaches that the church is God’s idea. God began the church and sustains its existence. The church’s purpose is to glorify God and make an eternal impact on people. Here at McClendon Baptist, we have a passion for worship and witness and our clear purpose is to make a spiritual impact on individuals in Ouachita Parish and beyond. (Matthew 16:15-19; Acts 2:41-42,47; 1 Corinthians 3:16; Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:19-22; 5:22-32; Philippians 1:6)
The Bible also teaches that God has ordained the family as the foundational institution of human society. Single people are a vital part of the characters in the Bible. Obviously the most famous personality in the Bible was single, Jesus Christ. Marriage is the unity of one man and one woman in a covenant commitment for a lifetime. The husband and wife are of equal worth before God, since both are created in God’s image. The marriage relationship models the way God relates to His people. Children, from the moment of conception, are a blessing and heritage from the Lord. (Genesis 1:27; 2:19-25; Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Psalm 127:3; Proverbs 5:19; Song of Songs 8:6-7; Matthew 19:4-6; Romans 1:26-27; Ephesians 5:22-33 and Hebrews 13:4.)
