The Great Commission Fulfilled

For 45 years Woodland Baptist Church has served the Lord faithfully, sharing the gospel of Christ in the north of Wichita. In the mean time, the north of Wichita has experimented a huge transformation with the arrival of many Hispanic families to our city. The Church Building located at 2835 N Woodland is now in the middle of the Hispanic community in Wichita.

Moved by the desire to fulfill the Great Commission and a clear awareness of the changes in the community, Woodland BC has decided to offer its building to Iglesia Bautista Nueva Vida, a Spanish speaking church so they can continue the task of sharing Christ with people in north Wichita.

On July 27th, after a beautiful message, Pastor John Minor from Woodland BC handed the keys of the building to Carlos Carreon, pastor of Nueva Vida. The emotion and meaning of this moment is difficult to explain. After the service, the two churches had a great time of fellowship. Throughout the celebration God received all of the honor for His faithfulness and His work in the north part of our city.

Woodland Baptist Church is an example of lives totally submitted to God and a total commitment to the proclamation of the gospel. We thank God for each member of Woodland Baptist Church and their great gift they have made to the Hispanic community in Wichita.
