"Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high,
who hast done great things:
O God, who is like unto thee!"
Psalm 71:19

Wow! and wow! Sometimes a person just has to sit back and wonder at what God has done. For more than two decades, Elmira Baptist Church has pondered having a new building that would allow us to minister to more people. The first step in this process was to add the ministry room which enabled us to host more people at meals and fellowships. Then, about twelve years ago we completely renovated the 1957 sanctuary to update it. We removed the baptistry and added chairs instead of pews. And still we needed more room. So in 2014 we began working with the county planning department to build the new building. And now, in March 2025 we finally occupied our new building.

The process seemed like it would never end. The foundation was poured six and a half years ago. Covid interrupted. Core church members moved out of state. Our initial contractor moved to another state. Inflation made the cost of building materials skyrocket. I wondered when we would ever get done. Today, we enjoy our new space. Not only is it well-built. It is paid for. We do not have a mortgage and owe not a single subcontractor. God is good!

A Message from Pastor Scott

Welcome to Elmira Baptist Church! Founded through a revival in the 1950's, for over 75 years Elmira Baptist Church has been a beacon of hope to the communities of Elmira, Vacaville, Dixon, and Fairfield. What can you expect when you visit us?
Worship is central to all that we do. We do not "do church." We gather to worship a God Who is worthy. Worship is not about what we enjoy. Worship is about enjoying God. Congregational singing in which all participate in worship defines our meetings on Sunday.
Also, no church can thrive without prayer. Daily, personal prayer in our time with God as well as corporate prayer particularly on Wednesday evening. And not just giving God a shopping list of things we want; rather we pray in order to cooperate with what God is doing in our world. Our supplications are for God's grace in people's lives.
Once we have prayed, our goal is to evangelize our community where we live and the people whom we know. The Gospel is the good news that Jesus is the Savior of the world. That is not merely good news for Christians. It is good news for everyone.
And after a person is adopted as God's child, we do not wish to leave him there, immature and alone. Our plan is to make disciples. Our time together in community, fellowship, and serious study increases our desire to be disciples.
Our 2025 theme is rejoicing in the Lord. We will never find joy and happiness seeking our own priorities and pleasure. Only when we seek the Lord and prioritize worship, prayer, evangelism, and making disciples do we find that joy that God has intended for us.
