Our Mission
Why We Exist
At Community Baptist Church of Fort Wayne, our mission is to be a welcoming and loving church where the people of God encounter the Spirit of God. We open our doors and hearts to everyone, inviting all people to come as they are and meet the Lord Jesus Christ, who saves, restores, and transforms lives.
We are committed to teaching and preaching the Word of God with truth, love, and power, so that souls may be saved, faith may grow, and believers may be equipped to live for Christ. Through worship, prayer, fellowship, and service, we seek to create an atmosphere where the presence of God is experienced, the love of Christ is shared, and lives are changed.
Community Baptist Church is a place where faith grows stronger, fellowship deepens, families are encouraged, and God's flock is blessed. We strive to walk together in unity, care for one another in love, and reach our community with the hope of the Gospel. Our desire is to glorify God, uplift His people, and lead others into a living relationship with Jesus Christ.

In this powerful message, Pastor Williamson reminds us that no matter what we face, God always has something better on the other side. Drawing from the story of Lazarus, he brings a word of hope and expectation for every believer. Better is not just coming — Better is Here!
