Lincoln Avenue Baptist Church

About this church

Lincoln Avenue Baptist Church in Newport begins Sunday School at 8:45 a.m., holds morning worship at 10:00, and returns for an evening service at 6:00 p.m. Wednesday service begins at 6:00, with coed, women's, youth, and children's Bible studies listed at 6:30. Worship uses choir, praise team, and instrumental music centered on Jesus, followed by verse-by-verse preaching intended to keep attention on Scripture rather than cultural trends.

The congregation began in 1921 from a Sunday School class whose members saw a need for another Baptist church in town. Today it describes its mission posture as either sending or going. Local work includes weekly Bible teaching in the jail, while global relationships support church planting among Swahili-speaking communities in Tanzania and developing partnerships elsewhere. Student ministry for grades six through twelve emphasizes Scripture, obedience, worship, service, and Christian fellowship. Because Wednesday groups begin after the main published hour, first-time attendees should confirm whether to arrive at 6:00 or 6:30 for their specific program.
