Who we are: Baptist?

You may have a particular thought that pops into your head when you hear Baptist, but we are most certainly a different kind of Baptist. We are united, not uniform. You will find within our congregation a variety of families and individuals seeking the best way to be the Church together.

We fully believe that God invites us into the tension of our lives rather than asks us to escape our differences. By that, we mean you’ll find here many of the best things about our Baptist heritage and practice, but you’ll also find creative new expressions and echoes of the larger Christian community. We’re Christian by belief, Baptist by tradition and ecumenical in practice.

 Piney Grove seeks, in the spirit of ecumenism, to cooperate with other fellowships to meet needs wherever they exist. Annually we participate in a community revival alongside several congregations of other faith traditions. We are a member of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.
