About Us

We are at Speegleville.

Our church is located in the bedroom community of Speegleville, a rural setting just outside Waco, Texas. We serve the Speegleville area as well as the greater Waco area. Our church was founded in 1850 and maintains a relevant ministry in our area.

We are a Baptist church and have strong ties to the Baptist way of life. We are affiliated with the Waco Regional Baptist Association and the Baptist General Convention of Texas. We also cooperate with the Southern Baptist Convention through our contributions to mission endeavors.

At Speegleville Baptist Church, we seek to grow in our walk with the Lord, in our relationships with others, and in our compassion through ministry and mission to Speegleville and the world.   Our church invites you to come grow alongside us.

Paul wrote in Romans 12 that “Just as each of us has one body and with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and  each member belongs to all the others.” We are thankful God brought us together as a family of faith where we the build God’s kingdom for today and for the future.

Our church consists of more than bricks, mortar and wood. The Church is made of the people who inhabit our buildings, participate in our activities and share in our ministry.

Our prayer is that we grow together in service to God. Join us as we worship God - share Jesus - build the body of believers.
