Our Mission & Vision
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: Love God & Love People.
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 22:36-39
Who We Are
We are a growing church with a warm, loving spirit. We are not a perfect church, but we serve a perfect God. On our
Where We Come From
Forks of Elkhorn Baptist Church was first established in 1788. Back then, it was common for settlers to name their churches after landmarks, such as creeks, valleys
Since its founding in 1788, the Forks congregation has met in 8 different meeting houses, in 5 different locations, in three different counties, in two states, and surviving two fires along the way.
The Chapel or "Little Church" on Duckers Road was built in 1943. In 2003, Forks outgrew the “Little Church” and moved to its present location, directly across the street.
Where We're Headed
Every step along the way we have done our best to move forward in faith, keeping in step with the Holy Spirit. In 2014 we were blessed to add a recreation center, children's wing, and music and student areas on to our main building. One of our favorite sayings is "The Best Is Yet To Come!" We truly believe that God has even greater things in store for this church and for us who are believers.
