Mexico Baptist Church
Mission Statement:
To celebrate our love for God through worship.
To share our love for God by serving others.
To be nurtured in our Christian faith and to nurture others through the study and application of scripture.
To encourage others on the path to wholeness by calling and welcoming ALL to join us in following Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
History:
The Mexico Baptist Church of Mexico, IN was founded in 1861 during the presidency of Abraham Lincoln and in the middle of the Civil War. Twenty-nine people met on June 16, 1861 and decided to organize into a Regular Baptist Church after it was discovered that somebody had sent a derogatory Valentine's card to a lady at the Wesaw Church. That one small card ignited the need for positive change in a spirit of godliness in this part of Indiana and Miami County...and the church has been in ministry ever since! In 1991 a new sanctuary was built along with some additional rooms which include classrooms, a pastor's study, nursery, and a new baptistry. The new building was dedicated to the glory of God on March 5, 1992.
