We are thrilled to have you visit our church website.  It is my privilege to serve as the pastor of Thompson Springs Baptist Church.

Thompson Springs Baptist Church is a loving church, where people become friends and friends become family.  Our great desire is for people to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, and we seek to honor Him with our worship.  We enjoy seeing people use their talents for the Lord, and watching people become sincere worshippers of God.

We are a Bible-believing, Bible-preaching church.  We make no apology for strong preaching, straight teaching, sound doctrine, and a strict devotion to Jesus Christ and His Word.

I would like to invite you to attend one of our worship services.  I am confident you will find the church to be warm, friendly, Christ centered, and Biblically based.

In His Service,
