A Word from our Pastor - Dr. Stephen Clyborne
As our mission statement says, Earle Street Baptist Church is "a home to all who would enter." It has been a spiritual home for me since the first day I joined this family of faith in January of 2002, and it would be a home for you, too. Our church is historic and traditional, yet vibrant and creative. There is a wonderful blend of age groups: preschoolers, children, youth, young adults, median adults, and senior adults. We are not all alike, but there is unity in our diversity. Our unity centers around our faith in Jesus Christ and our determination to be His followers through worship, missions, fellowship, ministry, and education.
Since 1922 Earle Street Baptist Church has stood at the edge of downtown Greenville as a place of worship and a center for Christian growth and service. Now, in the early years of the twenty-first century, a new generation of Christians is answering the challenge to make a difference for Christ in the Earle Street community and beyond. I am delighted that you have chosen to visit this web site, and I hope you will visit us in person. I believe you will find our worship stimulating and inspiring, and our fellowship warm and inviting. But I hope you will also find that our church will provide you with many opportunities to grow in your faith, share the gospel of Jesus Christ in word and deed, and serve God by serving others.
At Earle Street Baptist Church, we are seeking to make a home for God and a home for all who would enter. If you are searching for a family of faith, welcome home.
