Whether you’re seeking inspiration, community, or just a place to reflect, Walker Baptist Church warmly welcomes you. Come experience uplifting worship, powerful messages, and a sense of belonging in our vibrant atmosphere. Everyone is welcome, regardless of where you are on your faith journey.
Let’s come together to Pray, Love, and Serve. We look forward to seeing you.
Our Mission Statement is available after the map below.
Some of us are actually quite comfortable with our church just the way it is. We like it small. We like it intimate. We want things to stay the same. If we dig a little deeper, however, we learn that kind of thinking focuses only on ourselves and ignores the tremendous spiritual needs of the community around us. That kind of thinking has never been what Jesus intended for the church.
Reaching the lost can be messy. It can be difficult. It can be uncomfortable. But it’s what Jesus expects. Are we willing to accept our calling and develop an open-minded attitude, a willingness to do “whatever it takes” to see lost people come to know Jesus? Let’s put into practice what we say we believe, and see what God can do with a willing church!

WALKER'S MISSION - Pray. Love. Serve.
Pray. Love. Serve. is the mission statement for Walker 2023 and beyond. Following is a review of the meaning and purpose of this Mission that was introduced in the first three sermons of 2023.
Pray. Our first-level relationship commitment is to God. We strengthen that relationship through ongoing communication with him in prayer, which leads to worship, honor, reverence, respect, and obedience.
Love. Our second-level relationship commitment is to one another (the church). The New Testament is filled with challenges and exhortations to love one another, encourage one another, challenge one another, etc.
Serve. Our third-level relationship commitment is to the world. Our mission is to reach the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ, and the best way we can do that is through our actions. We will serve our fellow man in the spirit of Jesus, and do so with generosity and grace, for that is how Jesus reached us.
Our Mission Statement for Walker Baptist Church. Pray. Love. Serve. May we do so with joy as we follow Jesus.
