Odessa Baptist Church

About this church

Odessa Baptist Church worships Sunday at 10:30 a.m. in a blended traditional and contemporary style. Communion is shared on the first Sunday of each month, and the congregation observes seasons such as Advent, Lent, and Pentecost. Children join the multigenerational opening of worship before age-level ministry. Parking is in front and along the north side of the building, with spaces near the entrance reserved for people with mobility needs or young children. Fellowship after the service gives guests time to meet the congregation.

The church traces its legal beginning to the Free Will Baptist Church of Odessa in 1855 and worshiped in an 1856 Greek Revival building for nearly 160 years. Concerns about heat, maintenance, accessibility, restrooms, and parking eventually led to a new single-level, 5,000-square-foot facility, constructed with substantial volunteer work beginning in 2017. The current building supports worship, Children's Church, Sunday School, Bible studies, music rehearsals, meals, Vacation Bible School, and community events. Local and global mission includes feeding neighbors, free gatherings, children's enrichment, and rebuilding work. Summer programming has included fourth-Sunday outdoor concerts at 4 p.m.; because those dates are seasonal, visitors should check the current events listing separately from the regular Sunday service.
