Walnut Street Baptist Church

About this church

Walnut Street Baptist Church in Old Louisville begins Sunday School at 9:30 a.m. and worship at 11:00. Children gather for breakfast and opening activities before age-based Gospel Project classes from 10:00 to 10:45. Children seven and older normally join their families for worship, while younger children may remain in childcare. Wednesday dinner starts at 5:15 p.m., followed by children's TeamKid and adult study at 6:00. Children's volunteers receive background checks.

The congregation's beliefs are grounded in a church document adopted in 1849, the Southern Baptist Convention's Baptist Faith and Message, and a covenant describing shared Christian life. Chinese-language ministry reflects the church's international reach. Community Ministry began from neighborhood clothing assistance and now operates one of Kentucky's largest food banks, serving about 900 people monthly with food, produce, clothing, hygiene supplies, household goods, and infant items. The church describes its common mission as making disciples of Jesus and growing together in relationship with him. A first-time family can use the education hour, worship, and Wednesday meal as three distinct entry points into this historic urban congregation.
