WHAT WE BELIEVE

We, as American Baptists, believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God and the final authority in matters of faith. We affirm the Trinity, that the one God exists as three persons in complete unity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We see Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord through whom those who believe can have fellowship with God. He died, taking on the sins of the world, and was resurrected, triumphing over sin and death.

WELCOME!

In 2015, First Baptist Church of Indianola celebrates its 150th Anniversary. The church was founded May 11, 1865, one month after the close of the American Civil War with the first services conducted in a log cabin court house.  Since then, the church has built three different buildings as the demands of the ministry changed over time.

But more importantly, the church has faithfully been the hands and feet of Jesus serving individuals and families throughout the last 150 years.  Our goal is to continue to reach out and minister to the community of Indianola and beyond.

We invite you to join us. You will experience a sincere and caring family of God that desires to use our time, talent and treasures to reach others for Christ.
