Our vision is to be a multi-generational, multi-cultural family of Christ-followers who:
- Reach Up to the Savior in worship
- Reach Down to the lost with the Gospel
- Reach Into the truth of God’s Word
- Reach Out to a friend in love and service
We live out this vision by challenging every member to Worship, Grow, Serve, and Reach—both in their daily lives and within the church community each week.
Additionally, we are passionate about being #ForDeLand—a mindset that drives everything we do. By actively supporting and serving our community, we want people to see more than just a building; we want them to experience a church that truly loves them and desires to share the hope of the Gospel.
WORSHIP
Through worship, we are drawn into a deeper relationship with Jesus and understand His direction for our lives. We worship in two distinct inspirational gatherings on Sundays: Traditional and Modern. Our Traditional Service features traditional singing of the hymns of our faith. Our Modern Service features music from today’s worship culture. In both services, we hear an insightful, biblical, and applicable message from our pastor.
GROW
When we grow spiritually, we learn biblical principles and lessons that help us learn more about our faith and how to express it in our daily lives. Being involved in one of our growth groups will also connect you to a smaller relational group that will support you, know you, pray for you, and help you in your daily life.
SERVE
When we serve, we put our faith in action. The Christian life is not about knowing. It’s about doing. Serving in a local church allows you to be part of something that is BIGGER than you. As you get involved at Stetson Baptist Church, you’ll find that we have members serving through community partners such as Grace House (crisis pregnancy center), local prison ministries, public schools, and other service opportunities. If you’re wanting to serve, we would love to talk to you about how you could get involved!
REACH
Reaching out means building relationships, showing kindness, and making a difference in the lives of others. At Stetson Baptist Church, we believe everyone has the opportunity to share hope and encouragement. Whether it’s inviting a friend, serving in the community, or participating in outreach efforts, we are committed to making a positive impact. Most importantly, we seek to share the hope of the Gospel—the good news of Jesus—so that others can experience the life-changing love and grace of God.
