First Baptist Church of Lees Summit

I cannot speak for the entire congregation but beware of the young adults group. If you are a young adult looking to grow spiritually and establish godly friendships with fellow peers, you won’t find it at this church and should steer clear. I had the opportunity to visit this church for several weeks and was even able to attend actvities held by the young adults group. Initially, the young adults group seemed nice but it didn’t take long to witness things which were quite frankly, disheartening. I witnessed a very cliquish atmosphere which did not welcome new comers, bullying of other young adults, and lack of intervention by the group leaders. In fact, the leaders either excused the problems completely or added fuel to the fire. There was frequent gossip and judgment which was clearly not Biblical among the group which would make even nonbelievers cringe. If you are looking for a solid church which has a welcoming young adults group I would highly encourage you to look elsewhere.

A great church with great teaching from the pastor and a heart for the community. The vision for the members is to love God, love people, and make disciples. Loving God is evident through different worship services (traditional, blended, and contemporary) that has a worship style that anyone would feel comfortable with. Loving people occurs in the many programs that reach out to the community (Mothers of Preschoolers, projects for homeless, projects for single mothers, and other community events like Downtown Days and Octoberfest). Making disciples happens in small group Bible study and prayer groups, where people grow and learn by living life in community. All in all, a great church family! I highly recommend you check it out.
