Holmes Baptist Church

About this church

Holmes Baptist Church, located west of Clarion on Hancock Avenue, holds Sunday morning worship at 10:30 a.m., with Sunday School meeting beforehand at 9:30 a.m. The Baptist congregation traces its start to August 1900, when it was organized in a train car, and it describes its purpose today as growing disciples in Holmes and the nearby communities. Its statement of faith, posted on the About page, holds the Bible as its standard and describes baptism as the immersion of believers. Recent sermons are posted on the church website, so first-time guests can listen to the preaching before visiting in person.

During the week, the church gathers on Wednesday evenings for a midweek service with Bible study and prayer. The website lists this gathering at 6 p.m. in one place and 7 to 8 p.m. in another, so confirming the current time before attending is recommended. King's Kids, a Wednesday evening program for children, runs from September through May and is listed at 6:45 p.m. A connect card on the website lets newcomers share their contact information with the church, and online giving is also available there. The church building sits at 2137 Hancock Avenue, and questions can be directed to the church office by phone at (515) 825-3110 or by email at office@holmesbaptist.com.
