Church Profile
After meeting in several different buildings in 1933, Smyrna Missionary Baptist Church was organized in April of 1934 and started meeting in the basement of a new building (still under construction) on our current property in July of 1951. Since then, our current building was erected by current members with the help of mission teams from other states and opened in late 2000.
We are a New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ, an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, currently associated with the Southern Baptist Convention and financially support their missionary efforts as well the State Convention of Baptist in Indiana and this church’s financial needs solely through the regular giving of tithes and offerings.
This church receives the Scriptures as its authority in matters of faith and practice. Its under-standing of Christian truth as contained therein is in essential accord with the belief of the Southern Baptist Churches as indicated in the Baptist Faith and Message (1963, revised 2000).
Currently, we have services every Sunday morning and Wednesday evening and somewhat often special services on different days and times. Since restarting after covid, our attendance varies from mid forties to upper 70s. Recent average has been 50s.
