Welcome to Garfield Park Baptist Church! Thank you for visiting our website! We are an urban church that welcomes all! Come check us out; bring your questions, doubts, certainties and open hearts and minds! We’ll talk and ponder together!

Wondering what to expect when you visit our church?

When you worship at Garfield Park Baptist, you’ll find a vibrant group of people diverse in education and income levels, theological perspectives, and age -yet united by God’s love! Our worship gatherings at 9:30 a.m. contain both traditional and praise music, prayers, Bible readings, thoughts for personal reflection, and preaching.

We are an American Baptist church, called by God, to create a community that works together to empower people to be the best version of themselves they can be and that God wants them to be. We seek to bring God’s light to the park through compassion, prayer, and living into our God-given purpose.

Please take a moment to browse our website and discover who we are! You will learn about our worship, spiritual growth opportunities, and ministries such as food pantry, community meal, choir, and Family Fun Night.

About Us
Garfield Park Baptist Church formed in 1913 on Indianapolis' near Southside. Like all churches, we've experienced many changes, significant ups and downs.

We sold our building at 1061 E. Southern Ave and are now sharing a building with St. Andrew United Methodist Church at 2560 Villa Ave. We feel that God ted us to this wonderful opportunity to worship with St. Andrew. We are still a Baptist church and St Andrew is still a Methodist church.

We have a shared worship service that combines both the Baptist traditions as well as the Methodist traditions. We enjoy combined activities such as pitch-in luncheons and other activities. This merging Of the two denominations has been prayers answered for both churches.

We believe
Certain things remain true for us:

  • We are an American Baptist church affiliated with the American Baptist Churches in the U.S.A. (ABCUSA)
  • Locally we connect with the American Baptist Churches of Greater Indianapolis (ABCGI)
  • We understand the Church to be a community of ordinary people called by God, to celebrate the Good News of God's reconciling grace through Christ to all people; to practice justice; to love others; and to walk humbly with God
  • Our core values are: acceptance, compassion, family/friendship, perseverance and spiritual growth
  • For us, the Bible is our primary way to know about God
  • The core of our Christian life is to worship God as the Body of Christ, to deepen spiritually, and to actively care about all of God’s world by making a difference one person, one conversation, one listening moment at a time
  • We practice and affirm Believer's Baptism
  • We partner with several other opportunities: NA, AA, the Garfield Park Neighborhood Association and Iglesia Cristiana Connect-Zion
