Join us for a night of adoration and praise through music as we join with Vinton Baptist Church for a wonderful evening. Please plan to join us at Vinton Baptist Church at 6 PM this Sunday.

Anyone who has been a part of the Melrose Baptist Youth Group is welcome to attend a reunion on Saturday, October 5 from 11 AM- 5 PM in the Fellowship Hall. Lunch will be served at 1 PM with a group picture being taken at 3 PM. If you have any questions please contact Pam Wheeling.

Pastor Mark invites all to join him for an 8-week Bible study starting on Wed., Sept. 25 at 6:15 PM in the Sanctuary. This season’s study is called, “What Comes Next: The Kingdom, Eternal Life, and the Return of Christ.” During this study Pastor Mark will be bringing light to the Kingdom of God, death and eternal life, the return of Christ, and judgment and renewal.

If you cannot join us in-person, then plan to join us virtually by watching the live stream on the NEW Melrose Baptist Church app! Within our own app you will find a curated Bible reading plan by Pastor Mark to go along with the study, live streamed study sessions as well as previously streamed sessions, our podcast series, church events and announcements, and so much more!
