Welcome to Layton Chapel Baptist Church

History:
Originally established in 1935, Layton Chapel Baptist Church is a Gospel-focused, Bible-preaching Baptist church. We are a friendly, family-oriented church that has a strong desire to love our community and to share the Gospel of Christ with everyone we can.
Layton Chapel offers excellent opportunities for learning, growing, and serving. We have small groups for all ages (Sunday School), as well as morning and evening worship services on Sunday.

Ministries:
Our aim here at Layton Chapel Baptist Church is to reach men, women, boys and girls with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is our desire to help men meet the challenge of being a Christian husband and father in today’s society. Every woman desires close friends who will walk with her through life’s joys and sorrows. Our aim is to equip the men and women of the church to be the leaders God has called them to be. Our ministries and the fellowship we offer will help you develop a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and with your church family.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
We have an active and growing Sunday School program here at Layton Chapel Baptist Church, and there is something suitable for everyone! It is the goal of our Sunday School program to reach People with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and proclaim His saving power so others may have the Joy and Peace we have in our hearts every day. It is also our desire to teach and edify the saints of God, so they may have a strong walk with the Lord and grow in His grace and knowledge, while ministering to others.

We have classes for all ages, starting from newborns all the way up to senior adults!

NURSERY/PRESCHOOL
We offer exceptional childcare for infants and toddlers during our Sunday morning services, so you can know that your child is in great hands while you worship God and learn from His Word.

CHILDREN’S CHURCH
All children ages 4 through 2nd grade are invited to attend Children’s Church at Layton Chapel Baptist Church during the 11:00 worship service on Sunday mornings. Children’s Church is an exciting way for our children to learn about Jesus’ love for them and to prepare them for “big church”. Our leaders do a great job of teaching the children.

AWANA
AWANA meets every Wednesday from 6:00-7:30 from September to May. We have Puggles, Cubbies, Sparks, and T’n’T clubs which include children ages 3 through 6th grade. Our teenagers also participate in AWANA. AWANA provides a dynamic approach for children to learn God’s Word.

Core Values Statement:
We value the lordship of our Savior Jesus Christ. We seek to be completely subject to Jesus, who is the Head of the Church. We acknowledge that the tie that binds us together is our common faith in Jesus Christ.

We value worship and believe that worship should be the center of our lives and our community. It is our conviction that human beings were created to bring honor and glory to Him. Through worship we seek to honor God and strengthen the church for its mission.

We value God’s Word. We take the Scriptures seriously. It is our guide for belief and living out our faith. We seek to read, study, and thoughtfully interpret scripture as led by the Holy Spirit. We strive to faithfully apply the teachings of Scripture to our lives as individuals and as a congregation. We believe that what Scripture teaches takes precedent over church tradition or human opinion. The Bible is God’s “love letter to us” and our desire is that the world see in us a reflection of His love.

We value relationships with other believers. We seek to strengthen those relationships by fellowshipping with and caring for each other. The diversity of young and old, married and unmarried and various ethnic cultures strengthens our relationships.

We value prayer and seek to make it central to our lives. We believe prayer and the related practices of fasting, meditation, solitude, and devotional reading are essential to developing an intimate relationship with God.

We value Christian service. Whether ordained or layman, we believe all Christians have been given gifts by the Holy Spirit and are called to service in the building of God’s kingdom. We strive to equip each member for his or her ministry within the church and community.

We value our community. We seek to be involved in the community surrounding our church building. We will work to create partnerships with people of like faith and practice who are working towards the betterment of the community. The development of these Godly relationships provides unity, shows love, and displays forgiveness among believers.

We value excellence. Excellence is an attribute of God. We believe that excellence both honors God and inspires people. God gave us His best, His Son, His only Son; therefore we seek to maintain excellence in all areas of ministry, proclaiming to the world the awe, the wonder and the love of God.

We value teamwork. The building of God’s Kingdom requires a team effort. Every believer possesses natural abilities and spiritual gifts. As we use these talents and gifts for God, we find significance and purpose for our lives. Therefore every member is called to be a minister, sharing these God-given resources for the good of others.
