Ministries
Diamond Springs Baptist Church is a Christ-Centered and Family-Focused Ministry. It is our desire for everyone in your family to find a place to serve and a place to belong!
A Place to Serve
Sunday School
"For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:" ~ Eph 4:12
We have a Sunday School class available for everyone in your family regardless of their age. Our classes include: Nursery, Tiny Tots, Primary, Juniors, Teenagers, and Adults. All classes are taught only from the King James Version of the Bible.
Nursery Ministry
"Suffer little children, and forbid them not to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
~ Matt 19:14
Loving nursery workers are available and will provide a clean and safe environment for your children so you can enjoy our services. Parents will receive a pager and will be notified immediately if a matter arises. Nursery is provided for newborns through two years old at all of our church services.
Music Ministry
"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."
~ Col 3:16
Our music ministry is conservative and uplifting. We strive to use soul-stirring music that both glorifies the Lord and blesses the hearts of believers. We do not use contemporary music in our church. In our services you will find the opportunity to participate in joyful congregational singing from the traditional hymns. You will hear choir songs and specials that exalt the Savior.
Multimedia Ministry
"Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints." ~ 2 Cor 8:4
All of our services are live-streamed and then archived so you can watch our services at any time from our You-tube page. We also have the services available on a CD format. If you would like a copy of our one of services on CD please let us know. You can also check out our Facebook page where you can find related announcements and activities in the life and ministry of our church.
Missions Ministry
Diamond Springs Baptist Church strongly believes in the Great Commission as given by Jesus Christ and our responsibility to reach the world with the Gospel. Our goal is to reach our Jerusalem then advancing into Judea, Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the earth. We focus on this two ways.
• Operation Outreach - Our church is actively involved in going out into our community. We go out into our local communities canvassing and hanging our door fliers. We also visit new move in's welcoming them to our area and inviting them to our church.
• Faith Promise Missions - Currently our church supports approximately fifty missionaries nationally and around the world through Faith Promise Missions. Each year we conduct a Faith Promise Missions Conference to challenge our people to be involved in financially supporting our World Missions Program.
Patch the Pirate Club
"And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children." ~ Isaiah 54:13
On Wednesday nights during the school year our kids meet together for Patch. Each meeting is packed with inspiring songs, assorted games and activities, and a Bible lesson. Our goal is for clubbers to learn that God is real, that He loves them, and that He has expressed that love through Jesus Christ. Our desire is for them to learn the truths of the Bible that they can apply in their daily lives.
Faith Bible Institute
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." ~ 2 Tim 2:15
Diamond Springs Baptist Church is an extension campus of Faith Bible Institute in Monroe, LA. FBI is a three year program that allows a student to study the Bible Chronologically and learn the major doctrines of the Bible. On Monday night during the spring and fall semesters, students meet at 6PM and are taught classes on Old Testament Survey, New Testament Survey, and Bible Doctrines. We would love for you to drop in for a class or join us for our upcoming semester!
A Place to Belong
Church-wide Fellowships
"And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers."
~ Acts 2:42
As a church family we have various things we do together from going to bowling, to watching the Tides play baseball, having our Memorial Day Picnic, Missions Banquet, and a Church Christmas Dinner.
Youth Ministry
"Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God." ~ Mark 10:14
The children of our church enjoy having regularly scheduled Kids Night In as they meet and play games while parents can spend time together. We also have Patch the Pirate for them to participate in during the school year. During the summer our children can take part in our Vacation Bible School and go to Junior Camp at the Edge Christian Camp.
Teenage Ministry
"Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity."
~ 1 Tim 4:12
The Jr. High and Sr. High years are full of new and exciting experiences. Those years are also full of challenges and difficulties. They are possibly the most important years of your life! It is during this time that starting and growing a relationship with Jesus Christ is crucial. We serve to meet this need through our "More Than Conquerors" Youth Group led by Duncan and Alayna Smith.
We have weekly meetings with them on Sunday Mornings in our Sunday School class at 9:45AM and on Wednesday nights at 7PM. During this time we teach biblical principles that specifically equip teenagers to handle the unique challenges they face. We strive to treat each teenager as an individual and with compassion to their burdens, as Christ gave to us as an example.
Our "More Than Conquerors" Youth Group has regularly scheduled monthly fellowships in addition to attending various retreats or rallies held at churches of like faith. Each Summer we take our young people to the Edge Christian Camp in Surry, VA for summer camp. Every August we also host an "Edge To Go" Youth Rally with other churches joining us.
We invite you to come see why other teens are having fun, fellowship, and getting spiritual knowledge in our "More Than Conquerors" Youth Group!
Iron Men Ministry
"Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend." ~ Pro 27:17
The men of our church meet together often to have a Men's Devotional Supper or Men's Prayer Breakfast. We also meet together as needed to do special projects around the church.
Women With Purpose Ministry
"Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised."
~ Pro 31:30
The ladies of our church meet together frequently to enjoy a special themed Ladies Fellowship or Brunch together. We also join together and make meals for our church family who have experienced hospitalization or surgical procedures.
Young at Heart Ministry
"With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding." ~ Job 12:12
The senior citizens of our church meet together regularly for scheduled activities such as having a Bible study, Game Night, Movie Night, or attending a local attraction or restaurant for fellowship.
