WOODLAND

A PLACE WHERE JESUS IS PREACHED PASSIONATELY, AND WHERE PEOPLE ARE LOVED DEARLY

Woodland is a place where lives are changed.  For 100 years Woodland Baptist Church has served the city of Winston Salem and its surrounding communities by preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ and we are witnesses of the gospelā€™s transforming power.  When you drive by the campus of Woodland Baptist Church you may notice the large building that God has graciously blessed us with.  Yet the wonderful thing about Woodland is that it does not have a ā€œlarge churchā€ feel.  Each individual is special and important here.  We believe that God has a purpose for every life. Our desire is to help introduce people to Jesus Christ and help them grow in their personal relationship with Him

Visiting a church can be intimidating but when it comes to Woodland, you can relax.

EXPECT TO BELONG

Your experience with us will be encouraging and enjoyable

EXPECT TO GROW

Weā€™re not perfect.

Thatā€™s probably why we make such close family, we are all a work in progress and seek to grow in grace.  We are not here to evaluate you, but to welcome you.  Donā€™t worry about having to measure up or fit in.  We really mean it when we say that ā€œAt Woodland youā€™re not only welcome, youā€™re wanted.ā€

Weā€™re about a Relationship

We believe that the bible teaches that the most important thing any of us can have is a personal relationship with Christ.  If you are new to that, thatā€™s ok, we would love to show you where to start!  There is no tradition, no structure, and no systems more important than your relationship with Jesus.  That is our focus here at Woodland; A Relationship, not a Religion.

We speak plain English.

We worship Jesus, study the Bible, and encourage each other in simple terms youā€™ll be able to connect to your daily life.  We believe and teach what the bible actually says and why it matters.  The truth in the pages of Godā€™s word are as relevant today as when they were penned.  Through the teaching and preaching of Godā€™s Word we can help show you how to apply that Truth to life in the twenty-first century.

Weā€™re normal people.

When you walk through the doors of Woodland Baptist Church you will find hard working people, just like you.  People looking for encouragement, for help, for hope, and for a better understanding of Godā€™s Word.  We really are just regular, friendly people who have found some good friends who also have found faith in Jesus Christ.

Expect a friendly, grace-filled culture.

The gospel of grace is the center of everything we do at Woodland Baptist. Our family is warm and welcoming.

Expect some help along the way.

Greeters will welcome you with some information about the services and help you find classes and nurseries, as well as some new friends!

Expect to find a place where you fit.

Nurseries, childrenā€™s ministries, and adult classes are all well-planned and prepared so that your Sunday is a well-invested time of personal growth.

Expect meaningful worship.

At Woodland Baptist, we worship Jesus. Our goal is worship, not entertainment, and we believe the service will touch you deeply.

Expect a practical Bible message.

Pastor Gammons will teach and preach through a practical series that applies Godā€™s wisdom to real-life situations. The Bible has the answers youā€™ve been looking for, and itā€™s essential for your journey through life.

Expect to be impacted for the better.

Our goal is simpleā€”to love and encourage you. Whatever youā€™re facing, wherever you come from, whatever decisions you are up againstā€”Godā€™s word and Godā€™s love will make a massive difference.

Expect to connect and grow personally.

Every week,Woodland Baptist welcomes guests from throughout the greater Winston Salem area. Many of them are burnt out on either religion or secularism, and are sincerely looking for a truthful, spiritual alternative to both. We believe Jesusā€™ gospel is the only true answer for the longing of a personā€™s soul.

Woodland Baptist is for the skeptic or the believer.

Whether you believe in Jesus or not, have an open mind and come hear Jesusā€™ message taught clearly and practically. Investigate who Jesus really is and discover what most religions never tell you about the Bible.
