What is Boomer Baptist Church?

Updated

Boomer Baptist Church is a Baptist congregation that presents itself as "the end of your search for a friendly church." Its stated mission is to reach others with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and it describes itself as a place for people "searching for something more." The church is led by Pastor Mark Strickland and offers Sunday morning worship, Sunday school, AWANAS for PK–12th grade, and a Wednesday prayer and Bible study.

Who leads the church

Pastor Mark Strickland serves as pastor, with his wife alongside him in ministry. The site notes they have been married for 35 years and have four daughters, one son, one grandson, and two granddaughters. A tribute page credits Pastor Mark with qualities including enthusiasm, joy, willingness to study and listen to God, and preparedness in conversation, counseling, and sermons. The church also notes he has continued his education, including a doctorate degree.

Service and ministry schedule

The site describes the Sunday morning option as available for both kids and adults, and frames AWANAS as "an hour long mini Awanas" for participants.

What the church says about itself

  • Purpose: To reach others with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
  • Tone: A welcome message invites anyone "searching for something more" to join on Sunday mornings, at AWANAS, or on Wednesdays.
  • On church community: The site acknowledges that people can complicate God's love "by showing who we are instead of who He is," and expresses hope that His love is always visible through the church. It states that members are human and will make mistakes, but that any faults seen are human-based while every attempt and success reflects the love of God.

Current notices

The site highlights Pastor Appreciation Sunday on October 12, with Pastor Mark's monetary appreciation gift to be collected soon. Those who wish to give are directed to see Paula Wright or Todd Wagner before a Sunday Morning Service.

Other items on the page include a link to the church's Facebook presence and a note that a livestream is "under construction" and "coming soon." The site also lists a home, contact, and services navigation, along with sections labeled "Weekly Wisdom" and "Daily Inspirations from Pastor Mark's Desk."

If you are considering visiting

The site positions the church around friendliness and accessibility: Sunday school and AWANAS cover children and youth from PK through 12th grade, while Sunday morning and Wednesday evening gatherings serve adults. Because the livestream is not yet available, attending in person is currently the way to participate in services. For specific questions about beliefs, ministries, or scheduling changes, the site's contact page is the appropriate next step.
