"16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.  17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God and the Father by him." (Colossians 3:16-17 KJV).

    The Mission of Payne Avenue Baptist Church is to win the lost to Christ according to Matthew 28:18-20.  

    • By Lifting the Savior  
    • By Loving the Sinner  
    • By Leading Believers to Discipleship

    We will accomplish this mission as we establish an atmosphere that fosters soul winning, discipleship and Christian maturity; equipping the saints for the work of ministry, and corporate worship while seeking to minister to human needs in the name of Jesus Christ.

    The real church is a church that embraces the true mission and purpose of the church as left for us by Jesus Christ Himself,  "19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even into the end of the world. Amen".   (Matthew 28:19-20 KJV).


    Let us remember our mission statement, which directs us in accomplishing this worthy commission.
